"I was right"
This is a great quote from Senator Joe Lieberman, provided in the context of an MSNBC story, and apparently said this past Sunday:
But the Iraq war is a dominant issue for many voters. “I still believe I was right,” Lieberman said Sunday night, to support the U.S. military intervention to overthrow Saddam Hussein.
As of 10:23 PM, the early results of the CT democratic primary are:
Lieberman 108,683
Lamont 116,387
Lamont 116,387
I'm wondering if he still thinks he's right after today. Even if he manages to squeeze out a win, this will be one hell of a spanking.

Oh and btw, I DID have problems when I went to vote. More irksome were the troll like women who, rather than simply taking my word for it that the registrar had fucked up (I didn't say "fuck"), quesitoned whether or not I was allowed to vote today (e.g. "are you sure you weren't already registered with a party?") Terribly annoying. Again, fucking rural fucking Connecticut.
Cynthia McKinney in Georgia still maintains that she was "right" and that she is "George W. Bush's worst nightmare."
Well, she got her butt kicked just like Lieberman did.
I guess the people in Georgia find her to be a worse nightmare than Bush.
I wasn't following that election carefully, heard about it, heard about her before too.
I do know that the "fight at the capitol" scandal and bigoted remarks attributed to members of her campaign have been more than a little damaging. Although, I just noticed, this is the state where crazy Zell Miller was elected as a Democrat...so you know, I think that the party distinctions might mean slightly different things when we comparing deep south to deep north.
What's interesting about the Lieberman situation (and different from the McKinney incumbency and concession) is that neither he nor anyone in his entourage was publicly alleged to have attacked anyone or to have been recently involved in something of such high visibility/poor social form. Rep. McKinney's prior primary defeat might be a little more analogous to the current recent primary situation up here, however in CT one has to have registered as a democrat to vote in the democratic primary (unlike GA? they count votes from other party voters in a primary...why bother with the primary? Again, a north/south culture thing?).
