TParty at My Left Nutmeg and Jonathan Singer at MyDD are raising a valid question that bears repeating here. Basically, if you could do it over knowing what you know now about Joe Lieberman’s record (voting for and supporting the surge) versus his rhetoric (”nobody wants to end the war in Iraq more than I do”), would you vote for him again?

This past weekend at YearlyKos, a very similar question was posed by Jesus’ General. Unfortunately, the General was not actually in the audience — he ordered one of his soldiers to ask it on his behalf. The question he wanted answered was “What are Lieberman’s popularity numbers now in Connecticut?”

Tim Tagaris and Tom Swan answer the General’s question in the video below:

Update 2: Per a request in the comments, here is a rough transcript of what Tom Swan is saying in the above video. It’s probably helpful to read along while he’s speaking:

Tom Swan: Lieberman is in the low 50s which is about as low as he’s ever been. I think Quinnipiac did one a few months ago … there hasn’t been one I’ve seen recently maybe Survey USA. The level of disdain towards Joe as Liz said before about buyer’s remorse … Many people, the majority of voters were over 47 years old which meant that they probably voted for Joe six times previously between Attorney General, that was his third run for Senate, and Vice President, that’s five times. …on a statewide basis they had a history of voting for him…a certain level of comfort in it. They didn’t want to feel bad. But if we had it to do over again I think we’d kick his ass.

Update:*****I made a mistake, and put the wrong date in the video! The correct date is 8/3/2007, not 8/4/2006.*****
