Slate is running a series of journals this week by one of thier reporters up in NH. He is spending his time cross country skiing and talking politics. Yesterday's report was about Joe Lieberman. I've always had trouble with Lieberman because when he gets up there and speaks he has lost my attention by the end of the first sentence. He is dead boring and doesn't make me want to root for him at all. The author of the journal piece put it best:

The fifth difference is energy. Simply stated, Lieberman doesn't show any. He's as passionate as your accountant, relating his criticisms of Bush in the tone of a grandfather rocking a baby to sleep.

And that, boys and girls, is why Sen. Joe Lieberman won't win the nomonation, let alone the primary. I think it would be very interesting to have a Jewish man as president, just not this one.
