I wonder if Joe is the first guy to be on the losing end of two presidential elections back to back?

1. It wasn't back-to-back. There was an election in 2004. Some guy named Kerry lost to this Bush fella. You might remember it.

2. Joe Lieberman wasn't on the ticket this time. So your entire question is pointless.

3. Even if he were on the ticket, no, he wouldn't be the first. Adlai Stevenson lost two consecutive presidential races as the Democratic nominee. Read a damned history book.

Why did you come back, boots?

Perhaps I should've rephrased it so that it was clearer. True he wasn't on the ticket but he made enough noise to make it appear that he was. That was the point we were making.
As for Stevenson, yes, you are correct. I completely forgot about him. So I missed it. I don't think that it bothered anyone except you.
As for boots, what are you talking about?

Putzie... you need to learn to say simply: I was wrong, oops.

Didn't happen in a previous life, ain't gonna happen now... Adlai Stevenson will come back from the grave before that happens.

That won't happen. Drip's obviously working on a political career and is practicing working on spinning his words.

There would be no real reason to kick Joe Lieberman out of the caucus or strip him of his chairmanship. He has disagreed with the Dems on Iraq, but he still votes with them a lot - he might vote with the Democrats more than Nebraska senator Ben Nelson.

Other than spite, what would be gained by this?

Pretty much nothing, other than a feel-good reach around...

Not too mention that some guy named Mondale was VP on Carter's failed re-election bid, then majorly failed himself four years later.

Way back in the 19th century, Henry Clay ran for president five times. He never was elected, and even missed getting his party's nomination a couple of times.

Also, William Jennings Bryan lost in 1896, 1900 and 1908.
