Lieberman-Lamont Showdown: The Results are coming in

[King]

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.

100 preceints left, 86% reporting,  Lamont up 51.82 to 48.18 (8,725 votes)

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

Lamont made a big issue about supporting the Dem nominee either way so he wouldn't dare do that.

[J. J.]

A lot of what's out are areas surrounding Hartford.

Lamont now up by 8880

Lamont has won.

Can you say, REMATCH

[Alcon]

89.2% reporting

Lamont 51.6%
Lieberman 48.4%

Some minor tightening.  Lieberman will have to really kick ass in the remaining 10%, which isn't going to happen.

Lamont has won.

Just as I said that Lieberman made a mini-surge

[○∙◄☻¥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.

[Sam Spade]

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

[Smash255]

a little closer now 51.6 to 48.4 with 667 preceints reporting , Lamont lead cut by slightly under 1,000 to 7919.  Still looks like too little too late for Lieberman

[Eraserhead]

Well Drudge Report (if that means anything) has called it for Lamont. 52%-48%.

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".

Congratulations, Democrats.

Enjoy another twelve years in the desert.

Of course, his party "cut and run" from him, so I guess this leaves us at square one.

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

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.

It's probably over.

Lamont 51.7%
Lieberman 48.3%

[Eraserhead]

I guess there won't be much chance of pushing Joe out the general with the closeness of the margin. I still think he'll lose. Lets see who Schumer supports.

Yep, Hartford just came in.  51%-48% Lamont.

back up to 8600, 46 preceints left, Hartford is in went to Lamont by virtually the same margin as the state

Not to mention Lamont's stance on Iraq....

What does that have to do with "cutting and running"?

Bush made a huge mistake with going to war with Iraq, but pulling out is not the answer.

And answer me again-would you support Rick Santorum based on your Strong Stands vs. Moderate theory?

[J. J.]

It's probably over.

Yep, Hartford just came in.  51%-48% Lamont.

That will close it, but Joe will probably gain a few tenths of a point.  Anybody know about the absentees?
