Are you surprised?
I'm not:
Mr. Lieberman's Choice
He would be the better senator. That's why staying in the race is the right move.

CONNECTICUT Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's decision to move forward with an independent candidacy after his loss in the Democratic primary is a controversial choice but in this circumstance the correct one. The leaders of Mr. Lieberman's party lined up yesterday to endorse Ned Lamont, the political newcomer who rode a wave of antiwar fervor to upset the incumbent senator. That's not surprising: After all, Democratic voters selected Mr. Lamont to represent them. And as weak a competitor as the Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger, may be, those leaders have to worry that Mr. Lamont and Mr. Lieberman would split the vote and make way for Mr. Schlesinger or a replacement. (The state's popular Republican governor, M. Jodi Rell, has called on Mr. Schlesinger to step aside.)
The Washington Post Editorial Board is useless, clueless, and purposeless, as usual.
The suits at the Washington Post are very upset that a member of the elite establishment class just got his ass kicked - hard (to put it figuratively!) and can no longer represent the Democrats.
Joe Lieberman will probably frame this editorial and put it on the wall in his campaign office. I'm just going to put it in the bathroom so I have some extra toilet paper. That's all the editorial page is good for.
