CT-SEN: Major Union Dumps Lieberman, Endorses Lamont
This is pretty big -- a major union which endorsed Joe Lieberman in the primary, Council 4 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, has just announced that it's dropping its endorsement of Lieberman and throwing its support to Ned Lamont:
Sal Luciano, the executive director of Council 4, announced the endorsement Sunday, saying that the union wants to see a congressional delegation able to stand up to the Bush administration."Since the Aug. 8 primary, we paid close attention to the remarks of both men," Luciano said. "We saw Joe Lieberman moving closer and closer to Bush, while Ned Lamont held firm in his strong opposition to the direction Bush is taking us."
Council 4 represents 35,000 members and is the state’s largest affiliate of the AFL-CIO.

This is great news, both in word and deed. I hope this means more GOTV feet on the ground for Lamont come election day.
