Barak Obama's Positions Are Similar to Ned Lamont's
Barak Obama is a rising star in the democratic party. He is one of the few democrats that took a position against the Iraq war early on. And so is Ned Lamont. He is a real democrat that realized early the disastrous error that the Bush administration made in starting that war.
Although yesterday Obama had to "endorse" Lieberman in the Connecticut state democratic dinner, it is obvious that in reality he agrees with Ned Lamont. The reasons that Obama had to "endorse" Lieberman are obvious: Lieberman is a long-standing senator from Connecticut that run for Vice President in 2000. So he had to do it in order for the Democratic Party to appear united, especially in CT where 2 democrats are running for governor.
But Obama also brought up the issue of the "elephant in the room" and clearly stated his opposition to the Iraq war that Lieberman has been supporting. By doing so, Obama sent an unmistakable message: That he and Ned Lamont have the same position on the most important issue for the country these days. The Iraq war.
The whole thing shows that Lieberman will not be able to be re-elected in November. If the democrat-superstar that he invited to support his re-election feels that he has to openly state his strong opposition to Lieberman's positions, this shows that Lieberman's campaign is destined to fail.
It looks more and more that Lieberman will need to start making retirment plans. Crawford Texas would be a great place for him to retire. The weather there is warmer than Connecticut and that will also allow him to enjoy more the company of the Bush family that he so much adores.
