The Connecticut Democrats are people but are they the people. I guess November will show whether Lieberman is out of step with the people of Connecticut or only the anti-war Democrats:

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., blasted a fellow Democrat, Sen. Joe Lieberman, for continuing his bid in the Connecticut Senate race despite a narrow loss to newcomer Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary earlier this month.

“I’m concerned that [Lieberman] is making a Republican case,” Kerry told ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” in an exclusive appearance.

Kerry accused the 2000 Democratic vice presidential candidate of “adopting the rhetoric of Dick Cheney,” on the issue of Iraq.

“Joe Lieberman is out of step with the people of Connecticut,” Kerry added, insisting Lieberman’s stance on Iraq, “shows you just why he got in trouble with the Democrats there.”

This guy talks like Lieberman lost by a Kerry style margin, he only lost by 10,000 votes. Lamont is in step with half the Democrats of the state and if John Kerry were concerned what the people of Connecticut want, why not give them the ability to say “Yes, we support the war” and vote for Lieberman or “No, we don’t support the war” and vote for Lamont?” The war will get it’s mandate, which Kerry does not want. If Lamont is handed a stunning defeat, wouldn’t that be the worst possible scenario for Kerry? If “it’s all about the war stupid” should lose at the polls, what does that mean for an anti-war candidate for 2008? (Since the whole 2006 anti-war, anti-incumbent spin is focused totally on this race.)
