Mark Warner's "Friends" Compare Him to Joe Lieberman 
Former Virginia Governor Mark Warner, a leading candidate for the Presidential nomination in 2008, wowed an AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) crowd the other day with what apparently were strong comments in defense of Israel. Those comments apparently prompted several AIPAC members to say the following:
At last week's American Israel Public Affairs Committee, former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner won kudos for his comments, with several insiders suggesting that he is the "Joe Lieberman" in the race‑a moderate Democrat who strongly supports Israel.
Lieberman, of course, is now the Bete Noir of the Democratic base, with large elements of the netroots working tirelessly to defeat him in the upcoming Connecticut Senate primary (You can contribute to Lamont's primary challenge against Lieberman here).
If these AIPAC people truly support Warner, don't you think maybe they would have stopped to think that comparing Warner to Leiberman was not the best move for Warner's chances in a Democratic primary? Are you sure these people really support him, or are they cleverly trying to deep-six his campaign to give Hillary an easier path?
Couldn't MyDD's Jerome Armstrong, who, is working on Warner's campaign, have clued in these people that comparing Warner to Lieberman might not have been the most helpful thing to say right about now?
Sheez!
