I'm not even a Democrat, but I like Ned Lamont. I think he'd be great for this state. Plus, it's tremendously hard to like or believe anyone when the first three letters of their name are L-I-E.

As far as running on the Independent ticket, this will most certainly split the vote. Sounds to me like Joe is desperate to stay in the senate and is grasping at straws. This is precisely what our democracy does not need. We need for our candidates to step down and bow out when their constituents decide that they would rather go for the other guy.

That might not be a bad thing, although I don't know much about Schlesinger yet. Jake,

And the Republicans aren't putting any money into CT. So, as a Joe foe, I'd think your best hope is with Lamont. The CW is that Lamont will win the primary.
