The article reports that the future of Democratic Party politics seems to be riding on the primary race between prowar Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman and his antiwar challenger, Ned Lamont. Media attention, a well-stocked war chest and liberal support have transformed Lamont from a unknown challenger to a measure of the national pulse. Party analysts are watching to see if Connecticut's heavily antiwar population will stick with Lieberman or be swayed by his support for Iraq.
