Both Obama and Clinton betrayed Lamont and all of us during the 2006 campaign. The only one of the three remaining Democratic candidates who actually went to Connecticut and put his shoulder to the wheel for Lamont was John Edwards.
If Lamont had gotten Obama’s agreement to filibuster FISA in exchange for his endorsement, as Stoller says, I can see why Ned might have come out for Obama at this point in time. But he didn’t. So under the circumstances, I’m a bit puzzled why he didn’t show respect for Edwards and defer this kind of decision until his future was clear.
