Again, David Broder provides us a view of his idea of independent centrism, as he weighs in again in favor of Joe Lieberman in Connecticiut:

The outcome of [the Connecticut] fight is important nationally for the meaning that will be attached. While other states such as Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio and Virginia will decide whether Republicans or Democrats control the Senate, this Connecticut race constitutes perhaps the nation's clearest test on the Iraq war. Lieberman['s] . . . winning and returning to the Senate and its Democratic caucus would slow, if not reverse, growing pressure from the Democrats for an early pullout of U.S. forces. On the other hand, should Lamont repeat his primary win over Lieberman and capture the seat, it would add immeasurably to the momentum of the antiwar forces. He says that he is running in order to end the nightmare of "140,000 of our brave troops stuck in the middle of a bloody civil war."

David Broder's independent centrism call for rubberstamping the Bush/Lieberman Iraq Debacle. He acknowledges that that is what a vote for Lieberman in Connecticut would be. Connecticut voters -- do you support the Iraq Debacle? Because that is what voting for Lieberman means. Broder told you so. As Chris Matthews said:

OK. Just let me say this to Connecticut, if we have a war that keeps going after this election, don't sit back and say, "I did my best." Because the best thing you can do is vote against the war, right? If you're against the war, vote against it. You only get one vote. Shouldn't you vote against it, if you care about it? There's nothing complicated. Use your intelligence and vote your brains.
