I understand your point. My response to it is - the majority of republicans don't care, really, if they have McCain, because the majority of republicans don't agree with him. That's why he's running around right now trying to suck up to the social conservatives of the party before 2008. Similarly, if the dems see the republicans being so successful ignoring THEIR moderates, why should the national dem party spend any effort to save Lieberman? Especially since most Connecticutt dems would be happy to get rid of him anyway - they despise his stance on the war.
The legacy of 43 will include, besides Iraq, the relatively extreme political polarization his administration and party have imposed.
