Joe Lieberman's "loss" in the Connecticut primary election was a win for America.
MICHAEL BARONE writes in the Opinion Journal - Primary Colors
Connecticut, where most major-party nominations are decided by party conventions, has a tradition of low participation in primaries, and less than one-sixth of the registered voters took the trouble to cast their ballots in this contest. The winner, Ned Lamont, thus got the votes of less than one-tenth of Connecticut voters.
In fact, 67% of the voters in Connecticut have yet to chime in on the issues.
The "win" for the ultra-liberals may turn out to be the undoing of the neo-Democrat party.
