A Follow Up on the Lieberman Loss

You tired of hearing about it? Good. Here's today's New York Times article following up on the Lieberman loss.

Some people are calling it the first victory for the blogosphere, and I don't think that it's necessarily far from the truth. The online community added much fuel to the fire of this race, and, in the end, the more passionate side - i.e. the side tirelessly talking about - won out.

The main blog that comes to mind in the Lieberman Lamont race is The Daily Kos, which has been very active on the liberal front for a very long time, longer than most other blogs on the web.

All indications point to the fact that Lieberman will run independently, despite being turned away by the voters in his state. The Daily Show's Samantha Bee portrayed him as a date who gets turned down and cotinues his advances, which is, I think, a fair estimation of the situation. Connecticut has said, "hey, we don't want you around." And he just doesn't get it. I think it's more like the drunk guy at the party who won't go home and sleep it off, even though everyone else has told him he's being a drunk ass.

Go figure.
