Leading Democrats Lining Up with Lamont
Leading Democrats around the country are lining up with Connecticut Democratic nominee for Senate Ned Lamont following his victory in the primary over Sen. Joe Lieberman.
As I said earlier, if Joe goes quietly, he will retain his legacy and will be seen as a statesman.
But if he runs as an Independent -- telling the voters of Connecticut they were wrong to vote him down in the primary -- he will always be seen as a whiney sore loser.
- John Kerry issued a press statement in support of Lamont.
- Democratic Leader Harry Reid and DSCC Chair Chuck Schumer issued a statement in support of Lamont
- C&L reports that Hillary Clinton is following through on her promise.
