It would be really useful to give all my Lieberman-loving (idiot) friends. Any chance you could link the article you found this from?

In an otherwise good-feeling-wave of an election, he's the one thorn in our side ... the one anomaly of 2006. Not to say that he should be demonized for voting his conscience, but with such a tight Senate balance, we are really going to have to woo this guy. It’s amazing how things worked out for Lieberman.

After all, Nelson's never been challenged (seriously?) in the primary and I'm predicting the same kind of courting of his vote. But, yes, the Lamont challenge could prove counterproductive at the least in the long run and I thought you nailed that with your post on the subject at JSW. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon. I can’t say I disagree with your general point, Ivan, but I think we’d be facing the same scenario regardless of whether he’d been challenged or not.

As a solution, perhaps the DNC leadership might <a HREF="http://constantpated.blogspot.com/2006/11/disrupted-congressional-committee.html" rel="nofollow">offer a disaffected GOP Senator a guaranteed Chairmanship if they jump from the GOP ship before Joe</A>, making Joe more beholden to CT, not himself. W A Hurd,
