Lamont Seen as ‘Serious’ Challenger to LiebermanPosted on May 31, 2006
A key Democratic Party opinion-maker says this about Ned Lamont, who is challenging Joe Lieberman for a Conn. Senate seat: “He’s intelligent. He’s accomplished. There are no personal warts. He teaches in the Bridgeport public schools. How many people of his pedigree and background go do that?”

I support Ned even though I’m from another state I feel once he has earned his wings in congress as in “do the job he is elected to do” he has a decent shot at higher office or Cabinet level at the most, The kind Sen. Joe Lieb. has indeed forgotten his way and needs not to be shown the way basically he needs to do a gut check and and rethink his time as a Sen. and consider dropping out clearing the way for a new fresh face and player, I have family in Minn they say it is common for a republican to run as a democrat? meaning be a democrat in name only which is the case for the likes of lieberman Joe Biden, Charles schumer, schumer surprises me the most with his bellicose statements that he’d vote for the Iraq war all over again or the Patriot Act!! etc, etc, no matter there past records; obviously things have changed these politicos indeed these politicos are indeed old furniture that need to be discarded and replaced with people more in-tune with there districts and less in-tune with the beltway gang of lobbyists.

What is this “forgotten what it means to be a democrat” stuff?
Why do you get to decide what opinions democrats must have?
Senator Lieberman is thoughtful, intelligent, principled, and willing to make unpopular decisions.
Ned Lamont is none of these things and is in for a surprise on August 8.
