It is not a matter of being more radical than thou. What is sad about Lamont is that we have to enthuse over someone whose social program is essentially to the right of Richard Nixon. This has nothing to do with Lamont but rather with the times and our own lack of power. So sure, use Lamont as a protest vote or as a way to argue against the war (but hardly against U.S. imperialism or even against jingoism... ) but don't think that electing Lamont is anything but electing another bastard.

Sheesh. I see a guy whose progressive credentials are solid and from personal conversation he's anything but a "bastard." And again, you judge a guy by the company he keeps, and his top people are solid leftists.
As a recovering Naderite, I hereby repudiate my past ultra-leftism and officially embrace Lamontism, a new rightist tendency. Shoot me.
