Even as Ned Lamont redefined politics with an audacious, against-the-odds victory over Sen. Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary in Connecticut Tuesday night, Lieberman himself has launched a bid that could reshape the landscape by running as an independent.
“We’ve just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead, but in the second half our team, Team Connecticut is going to surge forward to victory” Lieberman told a whooping cheering crowd in Hartford, calling it “a much closer race than all the pundits were predicting.” The final result was 52 percent for Lamont and 48 percent for Lieberman.
The three-term incumbent said he had a duty to his state, his party and his nation to run. “I can not and will not let that result stand,” he declared.
He appealed for Republican and independent votes: “We’ve never hesitated to work with members of the other party.”
This is what happens to intelligent people when they get too cozy with George W. Bush.
They see their defeat as some kind of twisted victory.
You lost Joe. Now take your bag of bullshit and go home!
Here is a question. If a Democrat calls on Republicans to help him defeat a Democrat then is he still a Democrat?
