Re: Last Lieberman Lament?

[Jim Devine <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

actually, my point was more along the lines of Krugman's observation
in today's column: >Many of those lamenting Mr. Lieberman's defeat
claim that they fear a takeover of our political parties by
extremists. But if political polarization were really their main
concern, they'd be as exercised about the primary challenge from the
right facing Lincoln Chafee as they are about Mr. Lieberman's woes. In
fact, however, the sound of national commentary on the Rhode Island
race is that of crickets chirping.<

that is, I was lambasting the punditocracy. Not that it does any good to do so.
