You have substantially damaged Democratic electoral prospects in 2012.  I, and many like me, now have a #1 target for that year: electing Ned Lamont or another progressive challenger.  We must drive Lieberman out of the Senate, as that seems to be the only way to keep you from promoting him.  (Will Obama then appoint him to some Administration position if that happens?  Probably, and if so he will suffer for that -- electorally and in terms of policy -- as well.)  Our money, our effort, our passion -- that could be spread out across the nation -- will be devoted disproportionately to the Connecticult U.S. Senate race, because getting rid of Lieberman is that important to the soul of our long-suffering party, and we will lose other seats because of it, thanks to your action today.  And we only have to do this because you Senate Democrats can't quit Lieberman on your own.
