Lamont: 53-47

Joe either drops his independent bid, or loses in November by three or four points.

One guy was a registered Republican but said he really wanted to vote today.

heh, I bet. Gotta keep Holy Joe in office!

[Rob]

I have a bad feeling that Lieberman will pull it out

So do I.

[Rob]

Wow, just read the whole thread. I always get nervous on Election Days, so I stayed away from the Internet and the news during the count.

Congrats to Ned Lamont!!

[Rob]

You could look at it that way.

I take it you're a Lamont supporter?

Matt Taibbi on Lieberman's defeat:

The only kind of change most dissenting voters in this country can contemplate is the rejection of an openly drooling imperialist like Joe Lieberman, whose real crime was not his war stance but his refusal to participate in the kind of craven cover-your-ass posturing the Hillarys and Joe Bidens and John Kerrys have indulged in this election season. Had Lieberman merely pretended to be antiwar once things went wrong in Baghdad, he almost certainly could have counted on the pusillanimity of the American voter to carry him to yet another Connecticut landslide.
