The New York Times on Sunday endorsed Democrat Ned Lamont for Senate while The Hartford Courant and New Haven Register backed Sen.Joe Lieberman's independent bid for a fourth term.
"Ned Lamont has run a far less polished campaign than Mr. Lieberman, but the more we see of him, the more impressed we are by his intelligence and his growing sophistication about the issues facing the nation," the Times wrote.
"He is very much in the Connecticut mold of basically moderate, principled politicians, and his willingness to take on Mr. Lieberman when no one else dared to do it showed real courage and conviction. He would make a good senator. More important, he has the capacity to continually become a better one," the endorsement said.

Yes, they had to go back to 2002 to find a single lukewarm instance of Lieberman not giving Bush a "free pass."
