Yet another reason why Obama should not win the Democratic nomination. Cautious Obama supports Loserman. Bad move, Barack.

1. Would you say the same thing if Barbara Boxer was running for Pres?

She, like Obama and most Dems, endorsed the Dem incumbent (Lieberman) in the primary, and the Dem nominee (Lamont) in the election.

[Mass]

2. Can you get more misleading. Richardson's call was after the primary.

Obama's speech was before the primary.

8. Exactly. We had a similar bullshit thread yesterday.

Skinner had the honor of locking it himself.

3. A more accurate summation of events has never been posted

Never in the history of the world.

HARTFORD, Conn. --Ned Lamont got a boost Thursday from one of the Democratic party's brightest rising stars, Sen. Barack Obama.

The Illinois senator and potential 2008 presidential candidate sent an e-mail message to his Connecticut supporters urging them to rally behind Lamont's challenge to three-term Sen. Joe Lieberman.

"Ned Lamont has waged an impressive grass roots campaign to give the people of Connecticut a choice in the November Senate election," Obama wrote. "Please join me in supporting Ned Lamont with your hard work on-the-ground in these closing weeks of the campaign."

The Lamont camp said Obama's e-mail went to about 5,000 Connecticut residents.

5. Obama endorsed Lieberman in Apr before the primary. Richardson called for Joementum to cease in Aug

6. Nice try

CNN article does not even mention Obama.
TalkLeft article is dated April 2006.

Obama supported Lamont after the August 2006 Democratic primary.

7. Obama did NOT endorse Lieberman in the GENERAL.

He supported Lamont.

9. you really don't help your candidate when you post such misleading crap

Either you are an ill-informed parrot of misleading information or a knowing disseminator of it. Either way, you might rethink who is making the "bad move" here.

[cindyw]

10. This totally misleading, not cause and effect relationship.

When Richardson backed Lamont, so did Obama.

Lamont gets lift from Obama, Lieberman campaigns with Landrieu
By Andrew Miga, Associated Press Writer | October 26, 2006

HARTFORD, Conn. --Ned Lamont got a boost Thursday from one of the Democratic party's brightest rising stars, Sen. Barack Obama.
The Illinois senator and potential 2008 presidential candidate sent an e-mail message to his Connecticut supporters urging them to rally behind Lamont's challenge to three-term Sen. Joe Lieberman.
"Ned Lamont has waged an impressive grass roots campaign to give the people of Connecticut a choice in the November Senate election," Obama wrote. "Please join me in supporting Ned Lamont with your hard work on-the-ground in these closing weeks of the campaign."
The Lamont camp said Obama's e-mail went to about 5,000 Connecticut residents.
Lamont aides said they welcomed the support of Obama, who has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent weeks as speculation about his national ambitions mounts.
"He's a very credible, charismatic and inspiring politician," said senior Lamont adviser Tom D'Amore. "We're thrilled to have his support.
Obama has also given $5,000 to Lamont's campaign through a political committee.
"Ned Lamont and I share a commitment to bringing our troops home safely from Iraq, to achieving energy independence, to helping all our citizens realize the American dream, and to empowering the American people to reclaim their government," Obama wrote.
