I don't know if this is a dup, but Ned Lamont is endorsing Obama
Ned's my man. An awesome guy. Really committed. Here is the text of the email I received:

On this day, we owe a debt of gratitude to Senator Edwards for his issues-oriented campaign for the Democratic nomination. His challenge pushed other Democratic candidates to be bold and clear on issue after issue. We should all be thankful for the deeply inspiring and idealistic campaign he ran, and for his important and enduring work of giving voice to the voiceless - work that I know both he and Elizabeth will continue to pursue in the years to come.

Yet the primary in Connecticut is just days away. And with the campaign now down to a two-person race, I wanted to tell you about why I have been supporting Barack Obama's candidacy, and urge you to do the same.

Barack Obama has shown that of the two remaining candidates, he has the judgment to get the big decisions right, and the appeal to put together a strong progressive coalition which I believe will fundamentally change how business is done in Washington. He understands that real change doesn't mean a tax credit here or an earmark there, but fundamental reforms which will need broad-based popular support.
On the most important national security decision of our generation - the decision to go to war with Iraq - Barack Obama simply got it right while almost the entire Washington establishment got it wrong. As Barack has said, it's not enough to say you'll be ready from Day One - you have to be right from Day One too.

The polls are getting closer in Connecticut. Now more than ever, we need to stay involved.

I hope you will join me in working for real and fundamental change on February 5th. Sign up to help get out the vote for Barack Obama in next Tuesday's primary here:

Regardless of who you decide to support, I know we will all be fighting on the same side for the Democratic nominee in the very near future.

Best wishes,

Ned

4. Lamont vs. Lieberman is actually a good comparison for Obama vs. Clinton
Lieberman/Clinton has/have a lot of Dems who haven't really looked into the race. When people do look into the race, they realize Obama is the better person.

There was a poll that asked people how they wish they would have voted one year after the election and it was

Lamont 50
Lieberman 40
Republican 10

When the 2006 results were:
Lieberman 50
Lamont 40
Republican 10

I'm worried for Super Tuesday, but if it was two weeks or a month away, I would be feeling very good.
