Lamont's Lament

Giant-Killer Lamont Stumbles
Democrat Will Need Republican Help to Unseat Lieberman

The irony!

Further evidence that we're beyond the tipping point in this race is the fact that the only issues Ned Lamont has outside of a leftwing activist-oriented primary is that Iraq has faded as a concern at the same time Lamont offers up a term-limit pledge of Joe's, some health care promises that nobody expects a freshman Senator to be a leader on, and his campaign's attempt to suggest that Joe wasn't actually in Mississippi during the Civil Rights movement. At the same time, Joe offers up a rather succinct case for votes:

Lieberman said Lamont would only deepen partisan divisions in Washington. "His finger-pointing, partisan blame-giving, petty political accusations is the last thing Washington needs more of," Lieberman said.

Damn straight. The obits on the Lamont campaign may as well be in draft mode at this point.

I don't remember the exact quote, but my favorite part of the debate was when Lieberman said something like, "I'm sure a lot small business people would have liked to start with that kind of scratch," referring to Lamont's assertion that he started a business "from scratch."
