NED LAMONT’S CONCESSION SPEECH: At the Huffington Post.

UPDATE: Reader Fred LaSor emails:

I read Huffington’s draft of Lamont’s concession speech with growing incredulity: the drafter(s) say Lamont should run on speaking out for what he believes in, not what the pollsters advise him to say. If CT’s voters want a senator who says what he believes, the choice is evident: Lieberman. There’s a candidate who tells it like it is — so his party abandons him. Who’s fooling whom?

And does this mean that so far Lamont has been just a tool of his campaign consultants? Does that explain why he’s polling so badly? That’s pretty damning, isn’t it?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Ouch: “The nutroots do indeed feel double-crossed by Lamont, not because he’s doing as every candidate does late in the campaign by moving to the center, but because he is losing. . . . The only one who has been double-crossed is Ned Lamont.”
