Yes! Allen Conceded.
Republican Sen. George Allen of Virginia conceded defeat Thursday afternoon to Democratic challenger Jim Webb, giving Democrats control of the Senate.
However, Mandrake makes a good point about Lieberman over at Daffodil Lane.
He basically won Conneticut with Republican votes and now he is in the pocket of these thugs. I’m not so sure if I trust that he will caucus with the Democrats. Especially after we totally turned against him (as we should have).
I was listening to yesterday’s Democracy Now! podcast in which they interviewed Ralph Nader. He made an interesting point about the Lieberman Problem:
He’s going to be pretty insufferable. I mean, you know, Joe’s inherent self-righteousness now is ballooning by the hour, and he’s going to view himself as a kingmaker if the swing in the Senate is one seat.
So we’ll see what happens. I really wish we could have gotten Lieberman out of there.
