New Haven Independent: Lamont Topples Lieberman, And Shakes Up The Country:

Ned Lamont crushed Joe Lieberman in Tuesday's Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate nomination, upsetting a three-term incumbent in a fable-like campaign that promises to reshape Connecticut and national politics in the fall and 2008 elections.

Lieberman sort of conceded the race (he's still saying he's running as a third-party candidate in November), as Lamont captured roughly 52 percent of the vote in an upset that saw him emerge from anonymity to a national symbol of progressive change in just six months.

The balllroom of Meriden's Four Points Sheraton was mobbed and filled with deafening roars as Lamont declared, 'No more stay the course. Stay the course is not a winning strategy in Iraq, and it is not a winning strategy in America.'
