45. If Republicans could vote in CT's 2006 Democratic Primary

Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 09:24 AM by Tom Rinaldo

Ned Lamont would never have been our Senate nominee in the General Election. Joe Lieberman would have run as the official Democratic candidate and all of our Presidential candidates would have had to support and campaign with him. Lieberman would not be listed as an Independent, he would be an official part of the Democratic caucus in the Senate openly backing the indefinate continuation of the war in Iraq as a major Democrat.

Ned Lamont only won the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate because Republicans could NOT vote for Lieberman in the Democratic Primary. Lieberman would have won the Democratic nomination in a landslide if Republicans were allowed to vote for him in the Democratic primary.

Is that the type of "base widening" you want?
