However, within the context of Democratic politics, likening him to Cheney is pretty stern stuff. The degree to which he is truly out of step with CT remains to be seen, btw. The thing that strikes me is that such rhetoric isn't going to gain the seat for Lamont and the odds are that Lieberman will be in the Senate in 2024, so why tempt fate in terms of Joe caucusing with the GOP? Why not softball the criticism a tad? It seems that given that the guy was the Dem Veep-nominee a mere 6 years ago should count for something, I just find it all to be an interesting maneuver on Kerry's part. Ultimately, it is all fair.

Kerry doesn't seem to be drifting beyond the obvious. Yes, Lieberman did "adopt the rhetoric of Dick Cheney." Both men made pretty pathetic attempts to link Lamont's victory with a win for the "al Qadea types." Why is saying Lieberman is "out of step" with Connecticut voters and that he "got in trouble" with voters there "impolitic," in your words? Kerry seems to be pretty straightforwardly stating the obvious. There doesn't seem to be any attack going on, does there?
