Lieberman Repays Landrieu As Only He Can

Make no mistake -- Lieberman has just made a fool of Landrieu. He has just told her he doesn't give a shit about her, her reelection efforts, her African-American constituents, nor all New Orleans and Louisiana residents. He obviously knows who brought him to the dance (Republicans), and he'll carry their water before he repays the efforts of one of his staunchest allies.

Landrieu is now left to meekly argue that Lieberman hasn't really jilted her.

Landrieu deserves to go down in '08. She may have an African-American Dem challenger.

Landrieu in 2008 will be running under a new federal election process that scraps the state's unusual November open primary in favor of a more conventional primary and general election structure. Landrieu could face a direct primary challenge, possibly from former Rep. Cleo Fields (D), now a state senator who sponsored the bill changing the primary process.
