Ned Lamont beats Joe Lieberman. It’s a potential net gain for the Senate, although Lamont went on The Colbert Report last week and declared there was no difference at all between him and Lieberman on Israel. He also couched his argument for Iraq troop withdrawal in crudely isolationist terms. But Lieberman’s a disaster, and he wasn’t any better in 2000 (Marc Cooper makes the case — or rather, allows William F. Buckley to make the case).
