Win some, lose some

Thrilled to see that Joe Lieberman lost the democratic nomination, but sad to see Cynthia McKinney lose.

The first race shows that the establishment, pro-Israel candidate, even with tons of cash, doesn't necessarily always win (and should be taken on aggressively) while the second shows, once again, the nefarious impact of out-of-state donors to pro-Israel candidates. See Billmon on this for more.
