Today's New York Times carries an article about the Joe Lieberman backlash (and the Joe Must Go movement), but manages to neglect THE most salient fact -- namely the broken promise Joe made during his Lieberman For Lieberman campaign in 2006. Let's go to the videotape of his debate with Ned Lamont for review:
Takeaway is simple here; when he endorsed McCain for President he broke a promise made to voters during the campaign, namely that he wanted to see the Democrat win the 2008 Presidential election.
Plain and simple.
That being said (of course not in today's NY Times), it seems fair that people should ask questions along the lines of "Did he make that promise just to get votes from Democrats?"
Perhaps more importantly, "Is Joe Lieberman a man of his word, or not?"
I'd say the answer to that question might be fundamental to answering the question "Why are CT voters mad at poor ol' Joe?"
Now why can't the NY Times manage to mention this aspect of the story?
