The Lamont campaign was pushed by the internet loony left (Daily Kos, MoveOn, and just about every other lib blog). They will now try to cash in this earned capital by pushing other Dem candidates to the left. This is a bad scenario for the dems as far left doesn't win outside nationally. Hell, Lamont won't even win in Conn come November.
Oh, and I also agree that the loony left is definitely NOT anti-stupidity
