I'm in probably the most liberal spot in CT, in New Haven. But Joe's challenger is from Greenwich, hardly an ideological left place. This thing is complicated because of Joe being an orthodox Jew. I live in his old neighborhood, Westville, where many orthodox families live because they can walk to shull on the Sabbath. My guess is that they would not want to lose a voice for their faith in the Senate, which, given how horribly Jews have been treated historically, is understandable. I would also guess that they are mostly liberal on many other issues that non-orthodox or even Jewish Democrats might not be.

It will be intresting to see how this thing plays out. I have signed up to volunteer for Ned Lamont. I truly don't believe that Joe is switching parties. Our congresswoman, Rosa DeLauro, just endorsed him, along with other state dems.
