lieberman hurt himself in a couple of ways. petitioning to run as an independent at the same time he's running in the dem primary and choosing to break ranks with his party (not to mention the majority of americans/voters) on the debacle in iraq. they wanted to send a message that the decision for war was bad and the situation has been made even worse by handling of the bad decision. i'm sure the sloppy kiss he exchanged with bush after 2005 sotu didn't help. lol.
