Not only that, what was Lamont thinking in allowing Sharpton to stand behind him during his victory speech? Probably cost him ten points right there.

JOE LIEBERMAN'S CAMPAIGN IS JUST STARTING. Vital Signs by Ryan Lizza

Last night, Ned Lamont made the first mistake of his general election campaign against independent Democrat Joe Lieberman and token Republican Alan Schlesinger. Having won a historic primary victory against a well-financed, three-term senator and former popular, vote- winning vice-presidential candidate, Lamont should have used his victory speech last night to crush Lieberman. He should have emphasized that the voters decisively rejected Lieberman. He should have called for Lieberman to exit the race immediately. He should have consolidated his victory and raised the price of Lieberman's indie bid. He should have used his televised speech to land the death blow to Lieberman that his small margin of victory failed to deliver.
