You can track former supporters of Joe Lieberman who are now backing Ned Lamont at www.UnEndorsed.blogspot.com. Meanwhile, Karl Rove is going to bat for his favorite (former) Democrat:

According to a close Lieberman adviser, the President's political guru, Karl Rove, has reached out to the Lieberman camp with a message straight from the Oval Office: "The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do."

"DLC got crunched!"

That's how someone here just summed up Connecticut's Democratic primary results.  He wasn't just talking about the Lamont-Lieberman race.

Dan Malloy, four term mayor of Stamford, CT, and John DeStefano, sixth-term mayor of New Haven, were competing for the Democratic nomination for governor.  This afternoon at the polling place, I chatted with a couple of union folk from SEIU/CEUI who were there in support of DeStefano.  They talked about his support for working people, but clearly they were most excited by his advocacy for better health care - indeed, the DeStefano signs and banners sported the slogan "Universal Health Care Now!"

Back at the Lamont event, I asked a friend who knows CT politics about Malloy, who won the state party's endorsement.  He's a good mayor, a very competent administrator, my friend said... but he'd voted for DeStefano.  Malloy's liability was being seen as part of the party establishment, the corportate/DLC wing of the party.  With support from progressives, DeStefano won 51% to Malloy's 49%.

 ... but something quite interesting happened.  Malloy's Lieutenant Governor running mate, Mary Glassman, whomped DeStefano's running mate, mayor Scott Slifka of West Hartford, 57% to 43%.  Repeatedly I heard that "Slifka is a DLCer".  "Yeah, I'm not surprised," remarked one person, "I voted for DeStefano and Glassman." Across the board, grassroots-supported populists beat the establishment candidates for Democratic nominations for statewide office.
