My biggest fear is that the Senate will be split 49/49/2, and then Joe Lieberman will be the most powerful man in the country. He will continue to caucus with the Dems, holding the most cowardly of them under his thumb, entirely neutered. And then, right when the House starts impeachment proceedings, he'll switch to the Republicans.
I supported Busby with contributions via Emily's List, and I (card-carrying optimist that I am) fully expected her to win. But my fear was that if she got elected this time, she wouldn't be able to hold on to her seat in November, in this overwhelmingly Republican district. So while I'm disappointed, I must say I'm kind of relieved - in the fall, my contributions will go elsewhere, to progressive candidates with a real chance of winning and achieving change.

I agree - Wes Clark would be a fabulous candidate and President. Great speaker, great intellect, great experience.
Hope he runs, and soon.
