If the CT Dem Town Committees refuse to give Joe Lieberman the Democratic nomination at the state convention, he will have to run in a primary against an opponent, who would have the backing of the Dem Town Committees.

Lieberman only has over $400,000 in his warchest. A challenger, who is progressive and has a good campaign plan and staff, most likely will outraise Lieberman. There's lots of Dems around the nation that will pour money into the Lieberman challenger's coffers.

If Lieberman loses the primary, his only other choice would be to run as an Independent or join the Repuke Party, but he'll be bankrupt and his money trail is not deep. If Lieberman wins the primary, he'll be bankrupt, and most of those who funded his challenger's campaign would not fund Lieberman's GE campaign.
