The Connecticut Primary: Lieberman's last Days

It is looking pretty grim for Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) in his Conn. Democratic Senate primary. According to the Quinnipiac Polls Lieberman is down by 13 against Big Businesssman Ned Lamont. According to the poll they stand Lamont 54% to Lieberman's 41%. And accorbing to the Latest Rasmussen Reports Poll they stand Lamont 51%
Lieberman 41%. This isn't good news for Lieberman and his reeelection bid. Even if the polls are off by a couple of points you can't expect to win when you down by douple digits two days till the primary. Although in the Montana Senate Primary State Auditor John Morrison and State Senate President Jon Tester were said to be neck and neck in polls but it turned out Tester won in a landslide. Lieberman has the Conn. Dem. Party Convention support with 66% of the vote and huge political endorsements from Bill Clinton and and many respected senators, but apparently that isn't enough. He has even stated that if he loses his primary he will run as an independent. That race is looking pretty close as well. according to the latest Rasmussen Reports Poll Lieberman(I) stood at 40% Lamont(D) 40% and Repubican Challenger Alan Schlesinger(R) 13%, but if i remember right didn't the last Rasmussen Poll show him winning in a landslide as a an Independent? Either the rasmussen poll is wack or people can change their minds in a hurry! I think if Sen. Lieberman ran as an indpendent he would win by a pretty good margin.


My Connecticut 2006 Senate Race Prediction
(I)Lieberman 50%
(D)Lamont 35%
(R)Schlesinger 15%

My Connecticut 2006 Senate Dem. Primary Prediction
(D)Lamont 52%
(D)Lieberman 48%

It just goes to show you what happens to a guy who stands up for the good of the country and not the good of the party. If I was a Connecticut voter, even though I am a registered republican I would vote for Lieberman and I think the Conn. Dems should too. You guys nominated him as your vice presidential candidate in 2000 for goodness sakes you think you should at least reelect the guy. Vote lieberman on August 8th for more info go to www.joe2006.com and check out how great a senator Joe Lieberman is!
