During a column on Joe Lieberman & his impending eviction from the Senate, Dick Morris (unintentionally) gets to the main reason him losing would be a good thing for not just Dems but everybody:

…in an August Democratic primary, with its low turnout and ideologically skewed voters, he faces decapitation. As surely as an American soldier on patrol in Iraq, his very presence in the Democratic primary provides a tempting target for those who want to vent their frustration at American foreign policy. (emphasis mine)

Exactly! Don’t like current US foreign policy, then vote for someone that agrees with you! Electing people with the intent that they’ll represent your views, what a novel concept!

Honestly, how the hell did someone as vapid as Dick Morris get a position of political influence, even for so much as a second?
