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.
Only reason he came out and said he would run as an independant is because in the last polls before the primary he was down double digits in the polls.
I don't understand how you think he broke rank with the majority of Americans. Our country is pretty much 50/50 Rep. to Dem. and there sure as hell is no debacle going on over there.
The only message that was trying to be sent, and has been sucessfully sent, is that there is no room in the Democratic party for people who do not go anlong with the ultra liberals and hate Bush for no reason what-so-ever.
