Burning Resources
And in another display of exactly what is wrong with the netroots going after Joe Lieberman, the amount of money that is being burned up in fending off Lamont's challenge is phenomenal.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) _ U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, facing a strong Democratic primary challenge, said Friday he has nearly $4.3 million cash on hand for his re-election campaign.
Lieberman raised $1.3 million in the three-month period ending June 30, for a total of nearly $8.5 million.
His challenger, Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont, plans to release his campaign finance figures Saturday, the Federal Election Commission's deadline, said Lamont campaign spokeswoman Liz Dupont-Diehl.
Lamont, the wealthy founder of a cable television company, has already contributed more than $1.5 million of his own money to his primary race. Lieberman has not contributed any his own money.
The waste of resources that could go to winning other races is ridiculous. Not that the netroots really cares. They want Joe's scalp.

This is a waste of time. You have a fixed in cement view of the world that is truely sad. You believe exactly what sources you already agree with and dismiss everything else. You don’t even notice how many times the media has gotten it wrong and had to retract stories. Your worldview is set.
But on the plus side: When I look in the mirror, I recognize myself. And I never hit and run.
Well, almost never.
