"My God, here we have a terrorist threat against hearth and home and the very first thing that comes out of their mind is how can we turn this to partisan advantage. I find that offensive," Lamont said in an interview Sunday with The Associated Press.
Cheney suggested Wednesday that Lamont's victory might encourage "the al-Qaida types" who want to "break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task."

I decided to pick up the Hartford Courant today. The commentary section was full of opinions. I thought you might be interested in a few of the comments. Here is a sampling.
Also, words from Ted Kennedy made the front page of the commentary section, underneath a huge picture from April, 2005, of Darth Cheney. The veep is standing in front of the American flag with a very stern look on his face; his finger pointed like an angry father toward a child who he has just grounded. Here is Senator Kennedy's Commentary.
