Look I like Lieberman, but he left the Party because of the primary. They didn't kick him out and they ostracized him after he formed his own party. There is a difference between him and Kerrey.
He's a moderate former Democrat who's pretty much persona non-grata in the Democratic Party. Yes, he was effectively kicked out of the Democratic Party IN that primary in favor of a non-moderate; the state of Connecticut saw things another way and elected him anyway.
Which, I say again, is part of the point. The Democrats have purged their moderates in exactly the same way the Republicans have purged theirs.
