Reply #49: This one is not all about the far left

[union_maid]

Bloggers didn't do this. The far left didn't do it either. Liberal, Democratic activists helped, but they didn't do it. Lamont decided to run. More and more Connecticut voters have decided to support him. Connecticut has more than its share of highly educated, informed voters. They're just not that impressionable, or given to extremism of any kind. Lieberman's support of Bush, not just the war, leaves Connecticut Democrats feeling unrepresented. I'm not sure I'm glad the whole thing happened. Just like with a lot of self-styled centrist Democrats, I feel you get a lot more good votes out of Lieberman than you would any Republican. I'm not sure I would have upset the apple cart. But I'm not from Connecticut. I just think this meme that Lamont's success is all about the far left is ridiculous. It's coming from Democrats in Lieberman's state.
