Donald Sensing points to a piece by Ralph Peters in which Peters discusses the candidacy of Wesley Clark (not too favorably). Something else Peters notes is that Senator Joe Lieberman is the only solid Democrat on the ticket, a position I agree with.

I earlier wrote that I didn't think a Jew could win the Democratic Primary (and I still don't), but with Dean's ascension it's clear that Lieberman is too conservative to be nominated. That's unfortunate, because Lieberman would probably make a good president; he's the only one of the Democrats that I would trust with our national security.

Hmm... I agree Lieberman can't get the nom, but not beczause he's Jewish. It's because he not left-wing enough.

The Dems who decide the primaries don't care about anything but socialism.

I think that his pro-Israel stance coupled with the black left's latent anti-Semitism would prevent him from being nominated. I linked to two instances of anti-Semitism among Democrats in my earlier post, here and here.

It's not that the majority of Democrats are anti-Semetic, but a large enough minority is that I doubt Lieberman could win the nomination.
