John Edwards and Christopher Dodd Support Lamont

Former Senator John Edwards and Senator Christopher Dodd are supporting Lamont. Neither of these two men could ever be considered members of the so-called radical left who usually don't vote for Democrats anyway. So Tony Snow and the Republicans, who have been throwing around such wild charges, show what frauds they are when they try to radicalize businessman Ned Lamont. Here's the story from Patrick Healy of The New York Times:

Mr. Lieberman’s determination to remain in the race may soon collide with the will of many Democratic leaders in Washington and Connecticut, however. The Senate minority leader, Harry Reid, and Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, who is leading the effort to elect more Democrats in November, planned to announce this morning that they were supporting Mr. Lamont and that the party should unite around the nominee, according to Democrats close to both men. A spokesman for Mr. Schumer said a statement would be forthcoming, but declined further comment.

Senator Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, Mr. Lieberman’s Democratic ally, privately congratulated Mr. Lamont last night and was expected to appear at a “unity press conference” with Mr. Lamont and other candidates at state party headquarters this morning. Two Lamont advisers said that they expected Mr. Dodd to help smooth Mr. Lieberman’s exit from the race; a spokeswoman for Mr. Dodd, however, said he would not play a go-between role to broker the senator’s exit.

Mr. Lamont said that former Senator John Edwards, the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee in 2004, was the first Democratic leader to call him last night....

We have a president who is incompetent and who has been repeatedly dishonest with the American people. Members of Congress who put up with Bush's nonsense should be joining the call for accountability, not sanctioning Bush's arrogance and disrespect for the law. Lieberman is a good man but he seems to have let Bush's manipulative gestures go to his head. It's a sad thing to see.

Our country needs a responsible foreign policy not the nonsense Bush keeps giving us with no end in sight.
