Ron Brownsstein considers the implications of the Move-on and DFA endorsements of Ned Lamont for the August 8 primary between Lieberman and Lamont. Worth a read. Some key paragraphs:
"Lamont's credibility as a candidate also should benefit from MoveOn's stamp of approval, said Scott McLean, chairman of the political science department at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn.
"Getting 33% at the convention is really impressive, but is even bigger because it shows the grass-roots and money … that there is something behind Ned Lamont," McLean said. "It's big. It's huge."
"While the online poll was being conducted, Lieberman was at a Washington dinner receiving an award from the Committee on the Present Danger, a hawkish foreign policy group whose membership includes prominent conservatives and leading supporters in both parties of the Iraq war."
