Sen. Lieberman Makes the Case for McCain

Here is his amazing op-ed at the Wall Street Journal. Here is an excerpt:

By considering centrism to be collaboration with the enemy – not bin Laden, but Mr. Bush – activists have successfully pulled the Democratic Party further to the left than it has been at any point in the last 20 years.

Far too many Democratic leaders have kowtowed to these opinions rather than challenging them. That unfortunately includes Barack Obama, who, contrary to his rhetorical invocations of bipartisan change, has not been willing to stand up to his party's left wing on a single significant national security or international economic issue in this campaign.

I think a lot of Reagan Democrats (many of whom are Catholic) will be McCain Democrats in November. Signs pointing in this direction are Obama's recent spectacular losses by very wide, lopsided margins in the West Virginia and Kentucky primaries. Just imagine if McCain had been suffering such losses even as he was close to clinching the nomination. The media would have hollered that McCain "couldn't close the deal" with his own party's voters. Yet, now, when Obama is clearly not closing the deal, all you here is the mantra that he is the inevitable nominee. The pro-Democrat liberal media bias is going "full blast" again--a sign that November is not far away.
