The Hartford Courant

has come out for Lieberman.

Frankly, the paper should have far more insight into this Senate race than the NYT:

Mr. Lieberman's history of enthusiasm for military interventions overseas is an anomaly in a man famous for mediating among warring factions in Washington. But to dismiss this moderate -- a vanishing breed in a Congress sundered by extremism on both sides -- for dissenting on a single issue would be a terrible waste. And a mistake.

It would show an intolerance unworthy of any political party.

Yep. Especially when there are seats to be won in other states, and when Democrats can't afford to fuck around with nutball purging schemes.
