US - Democrat Ned Lamont losing

Last election cycle "screw them" Kos backed 15 candidates. Every single one lost. The Kos Kurse continues.

The Times points out something that caught my eye.

Surprisingly, none of the contenders made a forceful effort to focus on Iraq, the issue that had propelled Mr. Lamont to the forefront of the race earlier this year. Instead they spoke at length about domestic issues, particularly those related to the economy, as they each tried to appeal to multiple voting blocs at once.

Here's why that's bad for the Democrats. Dow hits new high.

The Democrats dropped Lieberman, who is now running as an independent, and opted for Lamont. What does this say of the Democrats if the voters reject the Democrats candidate? Is says the Democrats are out of touch with their base.

And that's a good thing.
