For this position


"But now that he's running as an independent, the last pillars of that rationale have crumbled. What's the point of running to uphold Democratic hawkishness when you're running against the Democratic Party and its chosen nominee?"

Against this position


"But the critical question facing voters in November, as opposed to party leaders now, is who would make the better senator -- which is why we welcome Mr. Lieberman's decision to remain in the race. He would be, by far, the better choice for the people of Connecticut."
From Mr. Lieberman's Choice, by The Washington Post editorial board (The Washington Post, 10 August 2006) (view)
