Centrism defeated in Connecticut

The victory by Ned Lamont was a repudiation of centrism. Not centrism when it comes to budgets, taxes and other legislative affairs, but in matters of war.

A majority of the country wants out of Iraq. Lieberman wishes to stay, for now. This is not acceptable to the people of Connecticut or the country as a whole. American troops are about to become embroiled in a civil war and the losing candidate can only shrug his shoulders.

Lamont's election means nothing more, nothing less. Kind of like Joe Lieberman.
