You are probably right about Dodd esp. since he probably … like others … will remain “Sen” for some time longer.

Hi, Joe. Dodd’s victory probably is thin gruel in absolute terms, but for the starving it’s a feast. I don’t fault him for not attacking Reid: he still has to rely on the guy to get whatever business he wants done, done. Reid knows what happened, and so does everyone else involved.

I guess the idea is that Arizona is part of the “South” West.

As to McCain being “independent,” his books on courage notwithstanding, he repeatedly genuflected to the Bush Administration, so that’s more dubious than calling him a Southerner.

As to Dodd, cheers, though his inability to criticize Reid when given a chance to on Thom Hartman today suggests those who want people at the baracades have to grasp at straws to get any traction.

Reading this only spotlights I am the all
seeing all knowing “PROPHET OF COMEDY”
when Liberman lost his primary challenge
and ran as a 3rd party candidate throwing
the victory to the GOP I said he’d be the
Zel Miller of the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Jonathon, McCain isn’t a southerner and Lieberman isn’t a liberal. I think the ticket that would best suit your needs is Kucinich-Huckabee.

TBT: there’s nothing new about the various alignments of apocalyptic Christians, neoconservatives and large numbers of politicians in both parties with Israel’s expansionist governments. Most of the Americans in the equations will be horrified if Israelis ever elect a government that aims for a genuine resolution to Palestine and the other regional imbroglios.
