As I predicted, the lone GOP bright spot this election was Lieberman's win in Connecticut. It strikes me as funny as (1) Lieberman is voting for Reid for Senate Majority Leader and (2) Rumsfeld got canned the day after. But the GOP needs its bright spots - and it is either the Dems are conservatives (I think they may have figured out that was not too bright. Have not read that much today) or Joementum. They choose both sometimes:

Jonah, . . . [T]here has been precious little said about who won on the left. In as much as you can say it was a failure of politics instead of policy for the Republicans, doesn't the failure of Lamont to take out Lieberman also point to a failure of policy over politics for the Kos crowd? They purged their ranks in the primary only to have their head handed to them in the actual election. I know this was expected, but I think seeing it actually occur bodes well overall for the general direction of the political discourse in the US. the Democrats won in places where they looked and sounded like conservatives, and where the Kos crown had influence, they were trounced.

Of course, Webb, Tester, most of the Dem candidates, including the two NH House winners, etc., were also Kos candidates. The funny thing is the GOP worked harder and cared more about Lieberman than their own GOP candidates. And they still do. And they wonder why they lost.
