So Lamont won. But it was pretty close. The final spread was 52% to 48%. Actually a hair’s breadth less than 52%.

And that makes me think back to Joe Lieberman’s disastrous and highly revealing decision to hedge his bets by running in the Democratic primary and opting to run as an independent if he didn’t win the primary.

Given the narrow margin, what do you think would have happened yesterday if Lieberman would have made a bold and clear decision to fight for the support of and abide by the decision of Connecticut Democrats?
