“Make no mistake about it, last night’s primary victory for Lamont will become a huge victory for President Bush and the Republicans. Joe Lieberman got up and brushed himself off, quickly defying leaders of his party, and moved forward with his independent campaign for his Senate seat. The liberal netroots may be happy right now over this “victory,” but this victory will come a huge cost for them in the long run.”

I’m in agreement with Matt as well as with those Democrats not drunk on “wishes” of a Democratic ‘94, such as Josh Marshall. Seriously, is it legal to drink and write a column at the same time? Sheesh!

Anyway…

While the left is aglow in the Lamont victory, thinking it a turn of the tide in the hearts of America, the fact is that same heart rejected their moon-battery outright by the ousting of Cynthia McKinney. What a contrast eh?

Let’s forget the silly talk. Lamont is done. Liberman will win his job back as an independent and Lamont will go back to ripping off cable consumers.

Down here in the blue of Broward County Florida I can tell you that the Democratic base isn’t real pleased with the mugging of one of their own (this is heavy Lieberman country), and one very senior Democratic party boss is swearing that the the favor will be return. Indeed long time Democratic operatives nationwide are going into overdrive against what they feel to be a “hostile takeover” of their party by straitjacket leftist. Yet that’s not the half of it for as I said before, look for the real power in the party - the Clinton Machine to begin the “cleansing” very soon.

Chief nutroots who think that they are more powerful than the “bust” are in fact amatures compared to the real pros at the “Politics of Annihilation”. In fact, the process - thought dead - has begun.

It’s also important to note that Lamont didn’t win to close what the nutroots were predicting, and in essence his win was a squeaker which if for not a CT law that allows “switching on a whim”, Lamont would be home counting his millions.
