Lamont's candidacy is almost entirely far left-wing hype. On primary day, I think he'll turn out to be a big flounder.

Well he is in a left-wing party in a left-wing state.

I'm just happy Lamont has a chance.  Obviously Lieberman is the favorite either way at this point, but we're still breathing and growing stronger.

Agreed

Lieberman/Obivously/Lieberman

No. He is in a plankless party composed mainly of left-wingers ina prodominatly moderate-state.

Lieberman/yes/Lieberman

[Soaring Eagle]

Lamont has momentum right now. I think Lieberman is in almost as much trouble as Chafee. The Iraq war is increasingly unpopular, and in a Democratic state like CT, supporting it would be a big liability. I certainly don't think Lieberman is a DINO, but its what the CT voters think that counts.

If Lamont pulls off the upset, I doubt Lieberman will have enough time to get the signatures he needs to be on the ballot, if he even does decide to try to run as an Independent.

The general election will be closer with Lamont as the Democratic candidate than it would with Lieberman as the nominee, but Lamont would still win comfortably.

[Nym90]

Lieberman will win the primary and the general, and I strongly support him.

You have to keep in mind that Lieberman isn't/wouldn't be like the typical no chance independent that is seriously going to have problems gathering signatures. I think Lieberman could get 30,000 in a few days because he is well known and well liked.

He would have to start collecting signatures before the primary since the filing deadline for independents is the day after the primary. Collecting signatures before the primary would show that he is afraid he will lose. It might not even be known who won the primary until the next day if it is close enough for Lieberman to lose.

I want Lamont to come out of nowhere like tester with a landslide victory. (Morrison almost always led him by huge margins.) That would be hilarious.

[nini2287]

Lieberman should win the primary with about 70% of the vote, and the general with about 65%.

LOL!

That's not true, the MT primary was always somewhat close.

Wrong. Only the last poll released had it close. Every other poll had Morrison leading by pretty huge margins.

Double LOL!

Only 3 polls were released on that race. One back in January showing Morrison up 19%, another one in April showing Morrison up by 7%, and the last one had him up only by 1%. I wouldn't say those are huge margins.

[TomC]

I think Lieberman will win unfortunately, but I think Lamont will get over 40% which is really pretty good for a primary challenger.

[TheresNoMoney]

I think Lieberman goes independent before the primary and squeeks out a win in the general election.

19% is huge. 7% is pretty big and the 1% one is what I meant by "almost always".

I just really hope he can't get on the ballot for some reason.

[jerusalemcar5]

I'd LOVE to see Lamont/No/Lamont.  I'm going to have to sadly vote Lieberman/Yes/Lieberman.

[MasterJedi]

Lieberman/Yes/Lieberman, and it will be great day!

[jokerman]

Lieberman, by about a 60-40 margin.
