CONNECTICUT VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN
The Party Must Listen

Soon-to-be former senator Joseph I. Lieberman (Conn.) today lost the Democratic primary to his underdog challenger, Ned Lamont.

It is imperative that the Democratic Party's leadership understand, recognize, appreciate, and respect the will of party members and primary-election voters in Connecticut who convincingly gave the nod to Lamont over the heavily funded and thoroughly rejected three-term incumbent.

And it is essential that Democrats everywhere insist that their own representatives in the party, by which I mean their senators and representatives, line up behind Lamont immediately and enthusiastically, in order to ensure that the will of Connecticut Democrats carries through the November election.
