Party endorsement, was Re: [lbo-talk] Lieberman: "Roberts a decent guy"

[andie nachgeborenen]

Yeah, it would, I think. In general, they'd have to be
allowed to run in the Democratic Primary. I don't know
how someone can be barred from doing that -- I know
some pretty wacko types have run as Dems, Lyndon
Larouche, the conspiracy theorist, for one, but there
are presumably some rules. At at the very least the
party could endorse an opponent and channel money to
that person. whole loudly announcing that it found
Lieberman (say) no longer welcome.
