Which democrat will win the primary in Connecticut?
Joe Lieberman is in the fight of his career. Ned Lamont is also too. Many democrats and liberals who supported Joe Lieberman when he was on the ticket with Al Gore in 2000 have now turned their backs on him. Why? Because he supports the Iraq occupation and votes more in line with the republican party and his constituents are upset! He has become a republican since 9/11/01 and it's no wonder he has upset many of his voters. The polls are suggesting that Lamont will take this race hands down but we will have to wait and see. I hope he does. I think as the democrat party goes, we need to start standing up for our convictions and get rid of the people who think war and killing is the road to peace. Ned Lamont is against the war and that is why he is on the road to victory. Should Lieberman run as an Independent in November against Lamont, I think it will hurt Lieberman for the rest of his life. Democrats want responsible people in government and if Lieberman resorts to dirty tricks like the republicans do instead of letting the voice of the people prevail, he will be sending a terrible message for himself. He should just accept the vote, concede, and then go on with his life. Democrats want change in the path our nation is on and if we have to get rid of a few of our own, then so be it.
