Edwards Calls On Lieberman To Drop Out

Late Update: ConnecticutBlog has video of Edwards' remarks:

I do not think Lieberman should be running. I do not believe he should be running as an Independent. I mean, if he ran as a Democrat, he asked Democratic voters to vote for him, they chose someone else, you know, we have to show respect for the people who voted in the primary. So, I would go further than just being for Lamont. I do not think that Lieberman should be running.




Just back from New Haven, where, in a pre-rally discussion with local bloggers, former Sen. Edwards specifically called on Sen. Lieberman to listen to the Democratic voters of Connecticut and drop out of the race.

Paul Bass has an early report and Spazeboy has some early video.

The official blog has a write-up and some great photos.
Comments:
Have y'all heard about Lieberman’s sucking up to Louis Farrakhan in the spring of 2000, which as I've already noted here was long after pretty much every reputable national black leader had renounced and denounced Farrakhan and his anti-semitic views?

You know what to do.
 
Lieberman's obligation to the Democrats of CT is nothing. He's not running as a Democrat. You guys say he's not a real Democrat.

So why is his obligation to the Democrats any higher than Schlesinger's?

It's one thing to endorse Lamont. It's another to also be really foolish and make silly statements like this one.
 
" He ran as a Democrat, with the endorsement and assistance of the party. He lost. If your team loses the pennant, you can't get traded across to play against them in the World Series."

Very true. Also, he is running as an independent Democrat. He is still claiming to be a Democrat, just not associated with the party, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean. GET OUT OF THE RACE, LOSERMAN.
