Here in the United States, Democrats are lining up behind anti-war challenger Ned Lamont following his primary win over Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman. On Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, and Senator John Kerry were among leading Democrats calling on party members to back Lamont. Lieberman has vowed to run as an independent. Democratic national chair Howard Dean called Lieberman’s decision: “disrespectful of Democrats and disrespectful of the Democratic Party.”
