If the Democrats want to win, they'll run someone like Joe Leiberman, who is a moderate and has obvious integrity.
So they'll be running Kerry, or maybe throw Edwards out to the wolves.
Kind of reminds me of the Maryland Democratic Party. In 2002 they tried to run the lieutenent governer of an unpopular governer on the "I'm a Kennedy and a women with no apparent political traits whatsoever" ticket, and the voters elected a Republican for the first time in thirty years. So, instead of asking themselves why they lost, they are throwing the mayor of Baltimore (severely liberal prettyboy who has done little for the city except play his guitar) and the Montgomery County executive (makes aformentioned mayor sound like Pat Buchanon) into the primary to see who sticks.
Fortunately, as a Republican I am secure in the knowledge that even though I'm outnumbered by about three-to-one I will have a lot to laugh about when the Democrats lose again (which is essentially what it is, far more then the Republicans winning in this state).
