Lieberman-Lamont Showdown: The Results are coming in

[TheresNoMoney]

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

[J. J.]

Most of the heavily Lamont areas have reported.

The remainder would have to be pretty heavily Lieberman.  I'm not sure the remainder is all that pro-Lieberman.  It's pretty much been stagnant since about 60%.

I'm not sure.  With one or two exceptions, Lieberman won each town by less than 60% of the vote.  His support has to comming from some place.

[Smash255]

Looks like Lieberman will need at least 60%, and probably 65% of the remaining votes in order to win.  Which is virtually impossible

[Sam Spade]

If this was a general election, I would have already called it, fwiw.  I am extremely, extremely close to calling it in the primary, though.

[Alcon]

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.

Where are those precincts?

[Joe Biden 2020]

If Lieberman does win as an Indy, that would seriouisly injure or possibly kill the Democrats chances of taking back the Senate in 2006 and might even serve to increase the Republican majority.

Yes, and it's coming darn close to paying off.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Been 625 for a while now. Night.

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

It may hurt the Dems gaining the Senate, but the GOP is not going to pick up seats, not at all.

[TheresNoMoney]

Yes, and it's coming darn close to paying off.

But the "liberal" media said that Lamont was "buying the race"?

[HardRCafé]

Whatever, can you say Liberman (ID-CN)?

Lieberman has my endorsement for Idaho Constitution Party!

[Alcon]

Two more precincts in and Lamont gains a bit.

[Flying Dog]

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

Mine too!!

[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.

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

[J. J.]

Lieberman has had 6 towns with plus 60%.  They look like they are in the Hartford area.  That looks like his base.

[Alcon]

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.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Any numbers?

it went from 628 to 648 and not much difference in the Lieberman/Lamont margin

Are you sure it wasn't 647?  I am reasonably sure that the last update ended in a 7.

[Sam Spade]

648 of 748 Precincts Reporting - 86.63%
   Name   Party   Votes   Pct
   Lamont, Ned   Dem   124,528   51.82
   Lieberman, Joe (i)   Dem   115,803   48.18

Getting close to needing 65% in the remaining precincts.  As I said, if this wasn't a primary, it's already over.
