1. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
I thought he did great yesterday.

Why isn't JOE FRIGGIN LIEBERMAN getting the idea, I mean, really???

First we heard that Moseley-Braun was out by September (that was before the NOW endorsement), now that Graham is leaving...

Why doesn't JOE LIEBERMAN take the HINT!

I couldn't believe that he was proud of being booed, as if people not liking him is going to lead him to the presidency. WTF?

2. Lieberman will get the hint soon enough...
...he should know his poll numbers are only based on name recognition.

4. I think there is nothing wrong staying in the election...
If you have an agenda that you really believe in, but those who are running simply on the usual Democratic platform and have little else to offer should step down.

3. I deeply admire Bob Graham
His critiques on the war have been excellent .

But he is getting no "traction"--so I am not surprized.

A good effort--and if he drops out, i will miss his voice.

5. Graham should have never gotten in..
He's more valuable as a senator, than as an "also ran"..

So now we lose a dem senator from Florida, and will probably end up with some rightwing wacko..

add to that the seat that Edwards is giving up and Hollings.. and it looks pretty gloomy to me..

and in the house we have 5 o6 6 seats taken away from dems by the "redistricting" and throw in a little Diebold magic...sheeesh:(

6. I'm afraid you are right..same with Edwards
We could easily lose both of these seats.....Senators should probably stay out of it most of the time anyway....Kennedy did well but the overall track-record for Dems in the Senate is poor, and I suspect if we examined the effect on Senate seats it would be disastrous.

7. Vaughan the pawn
Always look like he woke up from a hangover after sharing drinks with dem camapign advisors drowning out their misery. Seem to take a diffident delight in getting the negative take on Democratic candidates.

A real downer to listen to and subjectively inaccurate or off the beam, which works fine as long as Democrats are down and out.
