Reply #29: I think Gore should endorse Lamont, but it won't change the outcome

[onenote]

I think Gore should endorse the Democratic Party candidate. But don't be fooled into thinking a Gore endorsement would impact the outcome. If Lieberman wins (and I hope he doesn't) its going to be because of support from republicans and independents. Democrats make up less than 40 percent of the electorate in Connecticut, and I don't see an endorsement from Gore being all that persuasive with indies who are leaning Lieberman's way.

Keep in mind the following: in 2000, Connecticut voters got to vote both for Gore/Lieberman" for president and Lieberman for Senate -- Lieberman for Senate got more votes than Gore/Lieberman for president.
