Lamont Race Highlights Democratic Divisions
For all the recent talk about conservative anger at Republicans, the media hasn’t uttered a peep about the civil war breaking out in the Democratic ranks over the Ned Lamont candidacy in Connecticut.
As evidenced by postings of this kind, the failure of the Democratic party elite to back Lamont in a meaningful way is creating a backlash amongst the party faithful which may have implications for voter turnout not only during the upcoming mid-term elections but into 2008 and beyond.
For years the media have turned a blind eye to these sorts of internecine conflicts between special interest groups within the Democratic Party, but if these conflicts result in Republicans being able to eke out wins in this year’s elections would you say that the lack of media attention to these growing problems have been a net positive or negative for the party they are trying to protect with their silence?
