I predict Lamont 50-49. Lieberman manages to gain some sympathy by his last minute desperate claims about his website that he is too inept to run.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I have a bad feeling that Lieberman will pull it out

So do I.

Me too, Lieberman is milking the fact that his "strong on security" ass couldn't secure a webserver for all its worth. If someone other than Lieberman took down the site, they should have realized that this would really help Lieberman.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

People are starting to call it for Lamont.

If Lieberman has any decency left, he will be endorsing the Democratic primary winner.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

People are calling it for Lamont based upon precincts that haven't reported yet.

Of course it's not over until the Connecticut For Lieberman party sings.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Lieberman outspent Lamont by more than 2 to 1, suckers.

Not to mention the support from the out of touch inside the beltway elite.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Lieberman would caucas with the democrats. Atleast that what he says

You trust him? I don't. The Republicans will be supporting him if he doesn't do the right thing tonight/tommorrow.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Another new precinct just came in, and whatever it was actually hit Lamont pretty hard.  If this isn't isolated, Lieberman still has an outside chance.

One precinct doesn't mean much.

I know the talk is Lieberman might run as an Indy if he loses, but what about Lamont? He seems to have enough support to get a lot of supporters.

If somehow Lieberman gets some incredible luck here, then Lamont will support the Democratic primary winner.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Hopefully the Democratic party gets this message loud Inand clear: IT'S TIME TO STAND FOR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF RUBBER STAMPING BUSH

In 1994 the Democrats had very little party unity, and the right-wingers won a lot of Republican primaries. In the general election, a lot of conservative Democrats went down.

Taking strong stands on the issues is a winner in the general electiion, you don't win the general election by cutting and running like Joe Lieberman likes to do.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I'm calling it now.  I have almost no doubt that Lieberman announces an Independent run tomorrow and turns in the sigs.

I hold out hope that Senator Lieberman has some decency left in him.

Taking strong stands on the issues is a winner in the general electiion, you don't win the general election by cutting and running like JoeB Lieberman likes to do.

I generally agree with the first part (although by that logic shouldn't you be voting for Santorum?).

Bu how does Lieberman "cut and run".

He enables Bush, who ignored the 8/06/01 memo, and started a war for no reason to distract people from Afganistan. Bush is bad for America, and Lieberman should be opposing Bush.

Congratulations, Democrats.

Enjoy another twelve years in the desert.

Yeah, just like you guys did after a lot of right-wingers won primaries in 1994.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I didn't say I blindly support the candidate with the strongest stands, of course that would have supported Bush both times. I meant that the American people tend to support someone with convictions more than someone like Lieberman who blows with the wind. Not to mention that Lieberman seems to be heading the wrong direction more than the right direction. It's not just the war, it's pro-torture Gonzales, CAFTA, cloture on Alito, and so on, and most of all his right-wing rhetoric.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Damn...if only Lamont had been a multi-issue candidate and not been an idiot the whole time, I'd probably be supporting him now and be happy. (Remember, I'm a liberal)...instead Lamont acted like a jackass the whole time and lost my support...this is a dark day for America.

What garbage.

Don't you always complain about Gore should have won after the recount.  I don't really see how Lieberman's being a sore loser here, but to November we go!

Lieberman didn't give a sh**t that the election was stolen from him in 2000 when he was running against Bush. Now he suddenly cares that he lost now that a Democrat beat him? Lieberman isn't a DINO, he's a Republican.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

A sad sad day how Joe Lieberman is running on this joke Connecticut For Lieberman party. The Republicans will be supporting him in the general election. If the man had the slightest shread of decency, he'd support the Democratic primary winner that he outspent 2-1, and had even more lopsided support amoung his fellow Senators and the out of tough beltway elite.

Lieberman is pure trash.The Republicans might as well withdraw their candidate, there's already a Republican on the ballot.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

He beat the more liberal Lowell Weicker with the support of the Republican party in 1988.

Lieberman was complaing that only a few Democrats would decide the primary. Guess what, instead of the 20% he predicted, it's more like 50%. So much for that excuse, Traitor Joe.

Geez, it's a wonder Lieberman didn't want to leave the Democrats.

I held out hope that Lieberman would to the right thing. He didn't have the  decency.


If Lieberman losing was really so bad for the Democrats, then how come every single Republican supports Lieberman?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Congrats to Lamont and I will be supporting him over Lieberman if he decides to run as an Independent.

Lieberman already announced.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Lieberman.

Republicans support Lieberman because he is one of a select few uniters left in our government.  He isn't easily broken by the partisan leadership of his party and fights to represent the actual will of the Connecticut public and not his party.  Senators' main purpose is to forward their state, not their party and that's what Lieberman does.

Translation: He's good for the Republican party, and bad for America and the Democratic party.

Lieberman should stop this Connecticut For Lieberman nonsense at once and go whine about primary defeats with Cynthia McKinney.
