Tomorrow is Election Day, and we’ll be closely following both the Lamont\/Liberman senatorial race in Connecticut and the McKinney\/Johnson congressional race in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
Our sympathies in both cases are probably pretty clear; first, and foremost we hope people will vote for Johnson – in fact we hope people will vote for him, and that you’ll go through your address book and email or call anyone you know in the 404 to see if they are in GA-4 and can vote – and ask them to vote for Hank.<\/b><\/p>\n
In Connecticut, my feelings are more complex. As I’ve noted, I don’t much like Lieberman, but I think he’s right on some critical points – first and foremost that politicking around the war is a horrible thing to do – and something that may well lead to a bigger, nastier war later on.<\/p>\n
And I think the Kos\/”Blackface” Hamsher wing of activists are heading the Democratic Party toward wider electoral disaster. They may be able to concentrate national attention on one race and have a strong impact. We’ll see – my earlier prediction that Lieberman would lose the primary and then, if he chose, win in the general still stands. But I’ll say without qualification that a national party led by the Kossaks would be a train wreck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
