I supported Ned Lamont’s bid to unseat Joe Lieberman. I think I might even have sent him $50 or $100. I was sorry to see Lieberman use a loophole in Connecticut’s electoral law to get on the ballot as an independent after losing the primary. He couldn’t have done that the last time he ran and he won’t be able to do it next time. If the Bushies weren’t so much worse than a typical (or at least previous) Republican administration, I would be fine with Lieberman being booted from the Democratic Caucus and giving control of the Senate to the GOP. Really. This is a man who has shown nothing but contempt for the Democratic voters in Connecticut. Democrats voted against Lieberman in the primary and they voted against him in the general. He’s in the senate right now because the Republicans put all of the muscle and votes behind him.
I am pleased to see that Ned Lamont isn’t going away. He continues to be a voice on the national stage and, in particular, a voice that’s trying to hold Lieberman accountable for his words and his votes. His latest contribution in that arena is an open letter to Lieberman regarding Lieberman’s recent Wall Street Journal editorial.
