Primary Day

Connecticut Democrat Joe Lieberman today, saying that a Lamont victory in the primary will tell the country that "in the Democratic Party, there's no room for strong-on-security Dems."

This is exactly what's wrong with Lieberman. No, Joe - it will signal that in the Democratic party, there is no room for stupid on security Dems.

Joe's problem is that he as completely adopted the GOP spin that being strong on security means going around beating people up. Being strong on security means being effective on security, a characteristic that objective evidence would suggest is completely missing from the Lieberman-Bush approach.
