There are plenty of Democrats who nominally supported the war in Iraq--five of the six credible presidential candidates did, but only Joe Lieberman supported the President's policies without reservation. Most Democrats were dragged along on this adventure, carrying suspicions that it was, at bottom, equal parts political enterprise concocted by Rove, ideological enterprise concocted by utopian neoconservatives, and family psychodrama--young Bush avenging and one-upping his old man. There was, as always, a congenital distrust of all things martial among the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party," as Howard Dean would say. And it was Dean...
...those areas. "This is the threshold question," says Donna Brazile, a longtime Democratic Party activist. "We have to be able to close the leadership gap with Bush. We can't do that if we don't field a candidate who is strong on defense." In the South Carolina debate, Lieberman made good sense with this formulation: "I am the one Democrat who can match George Bush in the areas where many think he's strong--defense and moral values--and beat him where he is weak, on the economy and his divisive right-wing social agenda...

While Joe Lieberman boldly accused his opponents of liberalism, Al Sharpton was busy trying to arbitrate a peace between mortal enemies Howard Dean and John Kerry. Dennis Kucinich suddenly realized that even he had never heard of himself, while Carol Moseley-Braun drew heavily upon whatever-the-heck it was she majored in during...
...never thought about [serving] in this kind of context, but I have been very interested in the curriculum and in the idea of review,” said Professor of Anthropology Daniel E. Lieberman, who will serve on the working group on students’ overall academic experience. “This is a very complex institution in which there are lots of highly integrated and interdependent units. Unless you think about how they all fit together, you could end up with a disaster...
