Ned Lamont Wins Primary

Who's Sorry Now?

Ned wins the primary. Will the Dems be sorry in the long run? Are all "traditional" politicians going to be sorry? Is the blogosphere getting too big for it's bridges? Very interesting development. Does it mean victory for the Dems in 2008? We'll see....

Lamont Wins Primary!
By Christy Hardin Smith @ 8:13 pm
Ned Lamont won the Democratic primary in Connecticut this evening. Joe Lieberman lost.

Joe Lieberman is on C-Span right now thumbing his nose at the Democratic voters and the Democratic party, and announcing his run independent from the party. He’s saying he wants to "unite not divide." This speech is right out of the Karl Rove playbook. Word on the street in Connecticut is that Lieberman will be running as an independent with Republican backing. Any doubts that his loyalty first and foremost is to Joe Lieberman, whatever it takes?

The question is: where will the DSCC and the party leadership be on this tomorrow? They had better be out in front and supporting the winner of the Democratic primary.

Jane called to say that Ned Lamont will be down to speak shortly. Here’s hoping that Democrats with some level of respect for their party, and with a healthy respect for the voters in the state of Connecticut, have a strong word with Joe Lieberman between now and tomorrow morning.

Jane will have much more soon…
