The group includes Jeralyn Merritt &#8211; with whom I&#8217;ve had some serious disagreements, but who stepped up and wrote a <a href=\"http:\/\/talkleft.com\/new_archives\/015261.html\" target=\"browser\">great response<\/a> to the whole Deb Frisch embarrassment. Others include Dan Gillmor, Ed from Captain&#8217;s Quarters, Betsy Newmark and others I don&#8217;t have the time to look up just now (I&#8217;ve got a package to mail to Iraq).<\/p>\n<p>So I dashed off a piece to see if I could get some feedback on whether it was the kind of thing they were looking for, and darn if they didn&#8217;t <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/a-171760~Marc_Danziger__Democrats_would_be_weaker_without_Lieberman.html\" target=\"browser\">go and publish it<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;it&#8217;s on Joe Lieberman and the &#8216;marching off the cliff&#8217; wing of the Democratic Party, who think they will win by beating him in the primary and forcing him to run &#8211; and likely win &#8211; as an Independent. If I&#8217;d had more time, I&#8217;d have added the image that was really in the back of my mind when I wrote it &#8211; the Black Knight from &#8216;Holy Grail.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s less polished than I wish, and I promise to do better next time.
