Reply #124: So vote for Lieberman if you want to see Lamont (and Democrats) lose. [View All]

[MercutioATC]

Lamont came from the same place EVERY political rookie comes from...obscurity.

Lamont depicted Lieberman's actions as he saw them. (You DID see Lieberman's "bear" ad, didn't you? That didn't even deal with issues... If there was an attempted "character assassination" in this campaign, I believe it was committed by Lieberman, not Lamont.)

Whether 4 or 40 points, DEMOCRATIC voters in Connecticut chose their candidate. The story isn't that Lamont "scraped through" by four points, it's that Lieberman was publicly supported by nearly every Democratic heavy-hitter in the country and the Democrats of Connecticut still chose different representation.


Lieberman has every right to run as the candidate of a different political party (which is the choice he's made). He can't, however, run as a Democrat. A Democrat believes in the will of the people and Lieberman has actively chosen to thwart the will of the Democratic voters of Connecticut.
