Lieberman-Lamont Showdown: The Results are coming in

[Adlai Stevenson]

Turnout in Hartford was reportedly 80%; that would usually indicate enthusiasm for one candidate.  But who in this case?

[Adlai Stevenson]

I think Lamont could have enough momentum to win a general election; it may seem like a claim that is not based on reality now but as the Democratic nominee he would have the support of the DNC and DSCC and presumably get visits from Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton.  I think that Lieberman would find it hard to mount a significant challenge given the fact that official support for him would melt away and his Senate colleagues might even publicly call for him to stand aside.  

[Adlai Stevenson]

Apparently absentee ballots were quite strong for Lamont.

Joe Lieberman has conceded and called Lamont: "I am disappointed but not discouraged that we lost".
