Joe Loserman looks increasingly like the candidate who was too stupid to come in from the cold. With no Democratic party machine behind him, how much do you want to bet that he'll turn to the Rethugs for help? The time has come for the Senate Democratic leadership to strip Lieberman of his committee memberships and replace him with a real Democrat.

A Boost for Lamont as Democratic Leaders Shift Support

Democratic Senate nominee Ned Lamont will launch a general election bid in Connecticut next week with an expanded campaign operation of Washington-based reinforcements, in preparation for a bitter brawl with Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman over the Iraq war and national security.

Lamont's upset of the three-term senator and former Democratic vice presidential nominee, who is now running to keep his seat as an independent, has forced a hasty reordering of political alliances, as prominent Democratic leaders and organizations shift their support to Lamont. The political novice is seeking help from party veterans in fundraising and communications, and in answering Lieberman's increasingly aggressive war defense.
