I know all these pundits are giving Lamont a hard time, but I also know: the war does tire many people. Turning on the news night after night only to see how many more were killed in the Middle East does make some voters depressed. It would not surprise me if more anti-war candidates won in certain races. However, Dems fighting amongst themselves is going to turn off some voters, that's for sure. I think their 2008 primary process for prez will get very messy now that Lamont won.

Yeah, I think that's the significance of Lamont's win. The Dean wing of the party is in ascendancy. I think Hillary's chances in '08 just took a hit.

I agree that people get antsy watching nothing but violence on the network news. That's one reason I don't watch network news. But I think it behooves the Administration to continue to press the case for our involvement in Iraq, and to trumpet the progress. If all we heard was the unrebutted MSM take on events, we'd all slit our collective wrists.

If you think that war tires out the American public think about what it does to the veterans. The people in Connecticut are cowards if that is their excuse for Lamont.

On the upside, third party candidates always do the most damage to their closest ideological match and the most good to their ideological opposite.

If the Republicans can get their act together they may just have a shot in Connecticut.
