Actually, that’s entirely wrong. JOE LIEBERMAN is responsible for putting the kibosh on the dems tossing military ballots. Although this is a clip from the hbo recount movie, it shows a REAL clip of Joe Lieberman on Meet the Depressed saying the ballots should be counted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLfyH4cG1o8
Actually, this is a little bit of leftist revisionist history trying to blame Lieberman for the 2000 loss, started by the nyt.
Lieberman was trying to shield the dems from Republican accusations that they were trying to throw out military absentee votes. He did not, in any way that I am aware of, attempt to change the dem strategy of fighting to have the absentee military votes discounted.
