C&L Vid: Russert asks Kos why he's not campaigning for Lieberman

Russert: "Why are you so in favor of Ned Lamont, and against Joe Lieberman, who was AL GORE'S CHOICE to be the Vice Presidential Democratic nominee in 2000?"

Markos: "Joe Lieberman has consistently undermined Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats' efforts to remain unified on issue after issue, he is basically caught up in the fiction that things are still going fine in Iraq, and long-term, even on the issue of Social Security, when Bush tried to privatize Social Security last year, Joe Lieberman was the last Democrat to fall in line. He consistently undermines the caucus, and we understand...just as the Republicans do...that a strong, unified party will be much better in opposition and much more likely to actually win and take over the Senate...and the House, for that matter...than having a party that has its members constantly undermining it."

Russert: "But John Kerry, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton ALL voted for the war in Iraq..."
