2006

• Lost in Connecticut

  Bruce Shapiro : Joseph Lieberman

  Joe Lieberman won an idiosyncratic victory. He holds his seat despite his relentless support for Iraq, rather than because of it.

• Lamont vs. Lieberman, Round 2

  Bruce Shapiro : Joseph Lieberman

  Lamont now lags behind Lieberman, but the Connecticut electorate is so volatile that the outcome is far from certain.

• Ned Lamont's Digital Constituency

  Ari Melber : Democratic Party

  Liberal bloggers were just one aspect of a sophisticated netroots strategy that led Ned Lamont to victory. Lamont must now leverage his digital constituency to force Joe Lieberman to drop his independent bid and win the support of a broad spectrum of voters.

• Say Goodnight, Joe

  Bruce Shapiro : Democratic Party

  Without a motivated base, fundraising capacity or resonant message, Joe Lieberman is now in free-fall, lacking the strength and credibility to run as an independent.

• Lieberman Digs In

  Ari Melber : Democratic Party

  In New Haven, Joe Lieberman dismissed questions about a possible independent run if he is defeated in today's primary by antiwar candidate Ned Lamont and declared if re-elected to the Senate, he would not change his ways.

• A Fight for the Party's Soul

  John Nichols : Democratic Party

  The Lamont/Lieberman Democratic primary race is a referendum not only on the Iraq War but on a new vision for the Democratic Party.
