Lieberman-Lamont Showdown: The Results are coming in

[TheresNoMoney]

I still think Lieberman may pull this out.

[Sam Spade]

73.7% reporting

Lamont 51.7%
Lieberman 48.3%

Getting more and more likely of a Lamont win.  Hartford is going to be the real decider.

[WalterMitty]

new haven been stuck on 35 of 45 reporting for quite a while now....

[Lincoln Republican]

Lamont            53%
Lieberman       47%

Another nail in the coffin of Democratic moderation.

It's safe to assume than that you supported Specter in 2004?

... and Linc Chafee now?  In fact, which way will you vote (if at all) in the primary, Winfield?

Yes, Specter in 2004.  He's been a good Senator.

Definitely Linc Chafee for RI.  He's actually a Republican who can win in RI.

If Linc loses the nomination, the GOP loses the seat.  It's that simple.  Linc deserves the nomination and the Senate seat.

I still think Lieberman may pull this out.

To add to the collection of obvious statements; it probably depends how Hartford goes.
Still, even in defeat he must be in a good position to run as an Indie now.

I'm looking forward to making/seeing maps now...

FWIW-Kerry won Hartford with almost 80% of the vote.

East Hartford (Lieberman) and Fairfield town (Lamont) seem to have reported at the same time (or they did earlier and I didne notice. Which may be more likely).

[J. J.]

They are holding back the Hartford results.  Has to be.

[jerusalemcar5]

Where is Hartford?  Who's it expected to go to?

[Sam Spade]

I think this race is close to being over.  Hartford is the only real question mark leading me from calling it right now.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

A lot of urban precincts have yet to come in; even in places that declared early on the whole (Bridgeport for one).

Odd.

   Lieberman, Joe (i)   Dem   106,428   48.25

[J. J.]

They're holding back the vote.  It's common.

[Alcon]

It looks like we are getting residual results from around the place before we get Hartford and other urban areas.

This race could be extraordinarily close; recount close, even.  It depends on how much of the remaining 20% is Hartford and how much is this residual stuff.

[Sam Spade]

Wow, that Michael Barone hack sure gave some great insight.

If Michael Barone is a hack, then what are you?

[nini2287]

It looks like we are getting residual results from around the place before we get Hartford and other urban areas.

According to CNN, the CT Sec. of State said that turnout was very high in Hartford.

I should have gone to bed an hour a go...

Wouldn't it be kinda funny if Lieberman or Lamont ended up winning by 537 votes...

[J. J.]

Joe Mo just gained about 1 K votes on Lamont.  My guess is the party establishment is holding back his vote.

[WalterMitty]

how many total votes are there in hartford (estimate)

   Lamont, Ned   Dem   116,387   51.71
   Lieberman, Joe (i)   Dem   108,683   48.29

[Alcon]

The town of Hartford itself is actually pretty small-ish, but the county is about a quarter of the state's population.

[Soaring Eagle]

Doesn't the party establishment back Lieberman?

[Democratic Hawk]

Come on Joe
