I can think of another very good reason Republicans are interested, fear.
The main issue that brought Lieberman's defeat, was his support for the
war in Iraq. That makes a lot of Republicans, and Democrats, worried.
It's too early to say, how a Democrats defeat, in a relatively liberal
state, will translate to a national election in November, but I would say,
many do have reason to worry.


There may be an unexpected backlash in the national elections that does not
favor Democratic candidates.
Democrats everywhere will be taking notice of what happened to Joe Lieberman
and collectively will be moving their respective positions more to the
left, further narrowing voter options. Republican candidates will then have
room to move more to a center "moderate" position and may end up having more
appeal nationwide.

Betcha Hillary starts moving left soon. This is going to be interesting.
