I don't like all the Lamont bashing I'm seeing here. You all say he's a bad candidate yet a lot also hate Lieberman. You can't have it both ways!
Favorite: Webb
Least Favorite: Menendez
P.S.: Prez Mex (Killer Pollo?) I don't whats wrong with you that you're thinking obscene thoughts about a rich businessman. I don't go around dissing Kay Hutchinson, who is just as bad as John Cornyn.
I'm not Killer Pollo.
And it has nothing to do about being a rich businessman - I like rich business people. I'm a strong Lieberman supporter, I've always has been - and I think what Lamont and all the extreme left of the Democratic Party did was disgraceful. There are few Senators as good as Lieberman. Look, Clinton and all the moderates went to support Lieberman, and still the move on's, daily koses, etc went out of their way to try to defeat a senator that stood on principle. Thus, I'll be so glad when Lamont loses.
I'm really sad (and worried) that Mark Warner dropped out, because now the extreme left will have a better opportunity at getting the nomination.
I believe in a Democratic Party as modeled by Bill Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Wesley Clark, Mark Warner, Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, Barak Obama and other centrist figures. I do not stand a Democratic party led by leftist losers as Gore, Kerry, Dean, Feingold, Lamont and Sherrod Brown.
You need to understand, as I've said on here before, that hardly anyone in Connecticut knew about Daily Kos. Stop blaming them, they are a non-factor. Just because they opposed Lieberman doesn't mean his defeat is their fault. I know moderate Dems from red states may find it hard to believe but here in New England large majorities of the population are against the war. If Lieberman wanted to win, he should not have been so close to Bush, who is extremely unpopular here these days. Its Joe's own fault, not Ned's money or the bloggers.
I am upset about Warner dropping out too. He seemed like our best hope. I want a moderate Democrat candidate in 2008, anyone but Hillary, who I like as a Senator, but would strongly oppose in the party primary.
