Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei rārangi - I tautoko tuatahi a Lamont i te kaupapa ā-peresideni a Chris Dodd. Whai muri i te wehenga atu o Dodd i te whakataetae, ka noho a Lamont hei tumuaki tuarua mo te kaupapa perehitini a Barack Obama
He aha? Ko te wikitoria a Obama i te pooti tuatahi a te Kawanatanga o Connecticut i whakawhirinaki ki te kaha o Lamont ki te huri i te turanga pooti i hangaia e ia i tana pakanga mo te Senate. I te Poutu-te-rangi 2008, ko ia te mema o te kawanatanga ki te 2008 Democratic National Convention, ko tana tautoko i oati ki a Obama.
