NY Times' Kornblut left unchallenged Republican claim that Lamont is "not mainstream America," his victory in Senate race would "show[ ] the extreme nature of the Democratic Party"

SUMMARY: New York Times reporter Anne E. Kornblut left unchallenged Republican Sen. Norm Coleman's claim -- which is unsupported by recent polls -- that anti-Iraq war Connecticut Democratic Senate candidate Ned Lamont is "not mainstream America." Kornblut quoted only Republicans, conservatives, and representatives of Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, with no response from the Lamont campaign or Lamont supporters.
