You want to know what annoys me more than anything else? Politicians that have no belly for stating where they stand. Joe Lieberman has now left the Democratic Party. He is now actively trying to prevent a Democrat from winning an election the Democrats of Connecticut deputized Lamont to win. Repubicans, including the President, are refusing to endorse their own candidate. Bob Geiger is keeping a list of which Democrats are supporting Lamont and which Democrats are supporting Lieberman.

Here’s the tally:

Democrats supporting Lamont: 20
Democrats supporting Lieberman: 3
Democrats too scared to say: 18

Mark Dayton and Paul Sarbanes are not include in Bob’s list, presumably because they are retiring. The three Democrats that are backing Lieberman are Mark Pryor, Ken Salazar, and Tom Carper. Daniel Inouye has indicated that he will support Lieberman, but that is not locked down. The 18 gutless Democrats are listed below the fold. I encourage you to contact each of them and ask them to make a public display of support for Ned Lamont.

As for Tom Carper, that DLC loving Senator may have just earned himself a primary challenge of his very own.
