Failed ’04 Presidential Run Hardened Lieberman’s Independent Ways - New York Times:

This is what I appreciate about Joe Lieberman:

"John F. Droney, a former Democratic state chairman who is now in daily contact with Mr. Lieberman’s staff to discuss the campaign, is one of many who see the 2004 defeat as changing Mr. Lieberman in subtle but significant ways. He said: “There was never a change in his philosophy but there was a change in his inclination to compromise a little bit as a result of the experience in 2004. I think he came away with a resolve to answer to his country first and his party second.”"

I pray that all people seeking public office would believe likewise.
