John Kerry on Ned Lamont’s Victory in Democratic Senate Primary in Connecticut

Below is a statement by John Kerry on Ned Lamont’s victory in the Connecticut Democratic Senate primary. Kerry said on July 5th that he would support the Democratic nominee in Connecticut, and he supports Ned Lamont, the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate.

“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.”

Next Dem to step up will be???????

2. Damn, I like the way that man uses language. And I wail in sorrow when

George W. Bush tries to use the same language.

Kerry's right on Connecticut Democrats. Kerry's right on party unity. Kerry's right on party support.

Thanks for this post.

4. He was the first to say he would support the winner of the CT primary

and his statement is so eloquent and conciliatory towards Lieberman. And, above all else, it is full of promise for our Democratic party.
