Today Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee made a statement that would lead us to believe the DSCC, whose mission is to get more Democrats elected to Senate, would support Joe Lieberman if he was defeated in the August primary and forced to run as an Independent.

I added a new Get Active item today to sign a petition by Ned Lamont urging Joe Lieberman to back Lamont should Lamont win in August. Lamont has already made the promise to Joe.

Jane has much more on what can be done. If the DSCC is worried more about protecting incumbents then helping Democrats get elected then they have no respect for a democracy. The people who identify themselves as Democrats elect the next candidate for a seat, not the DSCC. If this is the avenue the DSCC is taking then they can go to hell. I will not donate another single dollar to them until they show they are fully behind Democrats and not their buddies.
