Reply #20: What's tepid about Kerry's response? [View All]

He's been saying for over a month that he'll support the choice of the Democratic voters of CT.
Here's his statement, I think it's excellent.

“After an intense and competitive primary season, Connecticut Democrats have chosen their nominee and they’ve made a strong statement about the current course in Iraq which is failing our troops. I strongly support Ned Lamont for the United States Senate.

"I’ve worked with Joe Lieberman since our days in college together, and I respect his many contributions to our public life. But the Democratic Party stands for something, and the Democratic Party in Connecticut has made a choice. That choice will matter in November to the direction of our Party and the direction of our country. The events of the past months make even more clear the differences Democratic leadership would make for our country on Iraq, in making America safer, in having an economy that works for everyone, and in achieving energy independence. That’s who we are as Democrats, and that’s what we’ll be fighting for. It’s time for all Democrats to come together to support Ned Lamont. It’s time for Democrats to unite.”

What's he supposed to say, that Joe's an asshole? He's still got to work with the guy for the next couple months.

I think it's great that all these Dems have made statements in support of Lamont. It was the right thing, and probably not the easiest thing to do.
