...didn't even talk about the war!" he said with pseudo amazement when he began to take questions. The challenger obviously is out to prove he is more than a single issue anti-Joe. That will be a tough sell, since Lamont's positions on most other issues seem standard cardboard purchased from the Democratic Campaign Depot store. And there is no getting away from the war.
