Ned Lamont, left, who is challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman for the U.S. Senate nomination speaks at a news conference across the street from the Connecticut Supreme Court in Hartford, Conn., Friday, July 28, 2006. Listening at right, is Michael Schiavo, the husband of the late Terry Schiavo. Michael Schiavo was in Hartford to campaign for Lamont.

New York Times: A Senate Race in Connecticut

Mr. Lamont, a wealthy businessman from Greenwich, seems smart and moderate, and he showed spine in challenging the senator while other Democrats groused privately. He does not have his opponent’s grasp of policy yet. But this primary is not about Mr. Lieberman’s legislative record. Instead it has become a referendum on his warped version of bipartisanship, in which the never-ending war on terror becomes an excuse for silence and inaction. We endorse Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary for Senate in Connecticut.

Of course…….
