Ned Lamont was right................why didn't Connecticut know that? What didn't
happen or could have happened for Lamont to reach the minds of the voters?


The comfy feeling voters got from Lieberman has gotten them what?????

The Lamont syndrome is alive and thriving on the internet......and it is a candidate that resonates with the netroots, but can't reach the masses.

If the DLC democrate's would have stayed out of it.

4. I don't think it was the DLC as much as it was old pal loyalty.
Joe had been in the senate a LONG Time. We all know there's a strrong commraderie in the Senate, at least within Parties. The other thing that I HEARD from people who called c-spans WJ at the time were people who live in Ct. and were very loyal to Joe because they believe he saved their jobs. They feel he personally helped THEM! Betrween those two things and that the Pub candidate wasn't supported by any Pubs got Joe elected! I HOPE that a least the Dems & the Indys who voted for him are now sorry that they did.
