Opinion in Brief

Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut lost his party’s primary in Connecticut earlier this year. Lieberman’s support of many hated GOP policies simply made him one of the first casualties of an anti-Bush backlash, it was believed. Recent reports by the Hartford Courant suggest this notion might be a little farfetched: Lieberman is breaking away with a lead of around 17 percent among those likely to vote, indicating that he may be supported by over half of Connecticut voters.

In maintaining support of over half the voting public, both Democrat and Republican in its makeup, Lieberman’s potential victory would be one that best represents the values of representative democracy and our republic. It would also seem to indicate that perhaps the country isn’t quite as ready for the inevitable anti-Bush revolution as had been previously thought.
