Does this indicate a general shift further to the left or does this indicate that Democratic powers that be have a penchant for rich new faces with little or no political experience

The demographics show that far more rich people voted for Lamont, while the middle class workers voted for Lieberman. It used to be the Republican who were the rich guys. How times change. Now it's the Dems with the wealthy elitists and Hollywood starlets.

I think the response by a person tagged "hitler_is_bush" is all the answer you need for where the Democratic Party is going... Its a shame - didn't agree with him all the time, but Lieberman is a good man.

Because the Democrats listen to the people. The PEOPLE of Connecticut voted for Lamont! Not the national Democrats!

'Ol Joe was perceived as too close to George and too much of a war supporter. This is true. The news media has been explaining his defeat in these terms.

Any group will abandon a sinking ship. Since he lost the vote you could say "the people have spoken!"

Lieberman is a zionist neokon republikan that is a puppet for Bush and Israel, he is not a democrat.

Because he wouldn't play by the damnocrates rules. He stood up for himself and started thinking for himself.
