You are correct, we need to identify and act much earlier. We lost the ground war, but what are the mechanics behind this? I hope you find the time to do an extensive post mortem in the near future.
I would not be surprised if Cuellar becomes the next traitor to officially switch sides after the general election. Let us now intensify our efforts on Joe.

Doubtful, unless Cuellar decides to seek a statewide office because this district drawn to be a Democratic district, even if he votes.

I assume you are speaking of Senator Lieberman, if you are then you have good and bad news. The good news is primary is not until August, if the reason Cuellar won is the opposition began too late, then you will have the proper time. The bad news is that unlike this race where party did not jump on board the incumbent, some have even suggested the DNC backed the challenger, expect in the case of the Connecticut race the incumbent will have full party backing.

This is exactly what I think his next move will be; statewide office. However, the case has probably been made to see if such a defection could draw the Hispanic vote by name recognition alone. We shall see.
And yes, I was referring to Lieberman. I am aware of the DSCC, DLC, and possibly the DNC will get behind the distinguished senator. It is all about projecting net/base power. It is a long shot, but a strong challenge will send a message and over time the message will get through.
