Chilling punditry on the Dems:

“A Lieberman loss would indicate the far left has indeed seized control of the Democrat Party,” said Dan Ronayne, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “If I were a Democrat consultant, I think that result would make me hear the Dean scream over and over in my head and probably keep me up at night,” Ronayne said, referring to Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean’s emphatic cheer as he rallied supporters in Iowa during his 2004 presidential run. “I don’t know if the old ‘freedom rock’ crowd and new Internet left are enough to form a winning coalition in most states.”
