Lieberman falls behind Lamont!
With only a little more than 2 weeks to go before the August Connecticut primary, Lieberman has fallen behind Lamont in Quinnipiac polling.


Anti-war Connecticut U.S. Senate candidate Ned Lamont has surged to a razor-thin 51 - 47 percent lead over incumbent Sen. Joseph Lieberman among likely Democratic primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.


Here's the way the race would pan out with the possible primary outcomes:

  1. Lieberman defeats Republican challenger Alan Schlesinger 68 - 15 percent;
  2. Lamont beats Schlesinger 45 - 22 percent, with 24 percent undecided;
  3. Running as an independent, Lieberman gets 51 percent, to 27 percent for Lamont and 9 percent for Schlesinger.


So, no matter what, a Democrat is getting this seat. Have no fear. The question is, will it be who the Democratic voters of Connecticut want?

If Lieberman loses the primary he should do the right thing and retire from politics, yes he might win in a three-way race, but, he wouldn't be much of a Democrat. The primary voters should decide who runs as a Democrat and who doesn't, Lieberman has become too self-centered to see this.

And has he come out against the Iraq war yet? Does he think it might just be a disaster yet? Nope, he remains delusional and on Bush's side. Even though conservative Republicans abandoned this untenable position good ol' Joementum keeps hanging on to his sweet lover Bush.
