Yes, but also don’t forget that Hillary’s husband Bill went to Ct to campaign for Lieberman. That was a clincher. On the timing and the war.

until I heard the BS all the way through!
I will never forget that ……it’s yet another reason to mistrust Billary, who knew Hussein was NOT a threat to the U.S.A, as past and present intelligence shows……… way back then!

I’m a day late to this headline, but …………….

I think it proves once and for all that north easterners aren’t any more erudite than the rest of us; or at least that applies to the good people of Connecticut who were too stupid to see this coming.</p> Lieberman is nothing short of the poster child for the unedumacated masses; that would be the masses who failed to pay attention to the cost of voting for an independent who garnered significant support from the Republicans.

Lamont officially announced during March, 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Lamont).

On March 31, 2006, Obama, on the stage with Lieberman, announced his support (http://www.talkleft.com/story/2006/04/02/164/90446).

In July Biden, Boxer and Salazar all campaigned for Lieberman; Schumer and Reid pledged support to him as well (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/05/AR2006070501143.html).

On July 17, Bill Clinton makes it known that he is supporting Lieberman’s Iraq stance (http://flapsblog.com/?p=3042).

In late July, Bill CLinton announces he will campaign for Lieberman, which he does along with Boxer, Lautenberg and Inouye.

By August, however, many others of the Democratic leadership are supporting Lamont (including Reid, Schumer, Kerry, Fengold, Bayh Dodd, Feingold and Pelosi) – http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITI…..ndex.html.

During this same August period, Bill Clinton is allowing Lieberman to use his name (and support) in publicity ads.

August 26, Hillary says she will help raise money for Lamont,offering him $5,000. Dan Gerstein is skeptical about Hillary’s level of support for Lamont, saying she will not appear with him (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/26/nyregion/26lieberman.html)

October 27 – Obama is urging voters to rally behind Lamont (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/10/27/ap/politics/mainD8L0MB280.shtml

2007 Lamont comes out in support of Obama NOT Hillary!

Alas. And I respect you. But they are very different on a variety of scores (including their records in Congress, their approach to the war, and the way they have run their campaigns). Anyway, you have got me thinking about the Lamont thing.</p> I will agree to disagree. Alas. And I respect you.
