National Democrats have abandoned their anti-war Senate candidate in Connecticut, say liberal bloggers who earlier this year were heavily courted by top Democrats in their quest to take over Congress.
Democratic nominee Ned Lamont -- darling of the left-wing blogosphere -- now trails Sen. Joe Lieberman by 10 points or more, and the highly energized bloggers who helped win him the nomination in August blame the national party.
Matt Stoller, a District-based blogger, wondered this week why Mr. Lamont is getting trounced.
"Well there are a number of reasons, but among the most prominent is the total abandonment of Lamont by the party establishment," he wrote in a blog posting at Direct Democracy (www.mydd.com). "Let's be very clear -- this is not Lamont that they are abandoning, it's the party primary voters that they are abandoning."
Liberal vitriol in recent weeks has been directed at some of the Democratic Party's most beloved figures, such as former President Bill Clinton, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, Sen. Charles E. Schumer of New York and even rising star Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.
"We have all been angry for some years now about being stabbed in the back by the Democratic Party in Washington," liberal blogger Sandra Yolles wrote in the comment field to Mr. Stoller's post. "We are angry that they have not fought for our values, for our ideals, for our Constitution, for honest elections, for the people who elected them."

Wouldn't THAT be the great irony of 2006! LOL!
Stay home on election day! Show The Man you won't be taken for granted!
Yeah, stay home on election day and hand America's future to the 'Rats!!!
I DON'T think so!!!
I think that most of the conservative voters understand the stakes and are voting Republican even if they have reservations. It would be hilarious irony if, after all the MSM crowing, the disillusioned voters that stay home are the fever-swamp, nut-job leftists.
Maybe that is why so many counties are mandating absentee ballots only. Since demorats will probably stay home more than Republicans would, putting the ballots in the home is a way to combat this.
Democrats don't fight for the Constitution and honest elections, they fight against them.

Moveon.org will have a perfect record of backing losers if lamont loses this election.
Send a message! It works every time, MoonBats!
It's interesting to see how the left and the right sometimes use similar language.
I think they're backing Nelson (FL) as well.
We are angry that they have not fought for our values
You tell 'em, Mizz Yolles! Vote third party! That'll teach 'em! LOL!
