Joe knows exactly what he's doing in supporting Collins: attempting to retain any shred of his own continued relevance by keeping the Democratic majority in the Senate as slim as possible in what is looking, once again, like a very tough cycle for GOP incumbents across the board.

And Allen knows exactly what he's doing in tying Collins to Joe: making sure that this "moderate" Republican owns the Bush-Cheney-Lieberman war that she's done nothing to oppose (see this NPR report on the Allen campaign this weekend), and that the Democratic Party stays strong and united against the Lieberman-GOP nexus. It's exactly the approach that Maine Dems hinted at when they "welcomed" news of Joe's endorsement of Collins back in April.

Yes, Lieberman is ridiculous, but he's also needs to be toxic.

So do what you can to help our Democratic friends up in Maine re-defeat Joe once again. (And keep an eye on the tubes for more on this effort in the coming days.)
