CNN calling it for Lieberman..

[SoCalDemGrrl]

Unfortunately Lamont didn't take the seat.

[Anakin Skywalker]

1. Amazing. Well, CT is home to corporate bigwigs (Insurance Industry).

I am sure said bigwigs have and will manipulate things.

[NOLADEM]

8. BULLSHIT...LAMONT LEADING RIGHT NOW ....YES, LEADING

30. No he's not.

Lieberman
(Incumbent)
200,144 49% 39% of precincts reporting votes by county voter survey results
Lamont
161,564 40%
Schlesinger
40,258 10%
Ferrucci
2,094 1%
Full CT Knibbs
1,671 0%

Lamont is losing bigtime.
Pretty much a foregone conclusion.

[grytpype]

2. That slimy little shit better caucus with the Dems like he promised.

[physioex]

3. Yea....

But keep him atleast one arm length away....

[still_one]

4. he will, not because he is a nice guy, but because he is an opportunist

There are also other points, he is pro-choice, and is somewhat progressive, including stem cell research

We will not through the baby out with the bath water

However, if I am wrong, and Lieberman does NOT caucus with the Democrats, screw him

[Athletic Grrl]

7. Hell, even some Pubs

want us to get the hell out of a certain quagmire.

If Lieberman whores himself to the Pubs this cycle, Lamont will convincingly kick him the curb next time. Time will tell if he is really a man of his word, or a whore.

[riverwalker]

5. it ain't over yet

CNN is calling wrong on a couple.. folks

[PrimeRibGuy]

6. like which ones

just curious?

[KatyaR]

9. Then why is CNN showing 8% of precints reporting, and

Lamont ahead of Lieberman 46%-45%?

I'm so frustrated. What the hell's wrong with Connecticut?

[Rose Siding]

10. Yeah, now it's 10% reporting and Ned's ahead

:shrug:

[Athletic Grrl]

11. Where

did the orignal data come from? After all, they're all trying to scoop each other.

What has CNN f'ed up tonight, projection wise?

[wellst0nev0ter]

12. Tied Now, With 10% Reporting

Yep, this is gonna be a looong nite.

[KDLarsen]

13. Saw the headline & looked at CNN

Sure was a bit confusing to see CNN calling for Loserman when they were tied.

[wellst0nev0ter]

17. I Guess They Were Going By Exit Polls

Too many turncoat Democrats, and Lieberman IS the de facto Repuke candidate, and he picked up most of the independents.

Let's hope the media is right and the exit polls don't mean shit.

[CatFelyne]

14. 9:33pm Lamont 45% Lieberman 44% - Hartford Courant

It ain't over till its over. Count ALL the votes!

[Sadie5]

15. Already changed

Leiberman ahead again. Lamont still might pull it off.

[humbled_opinion]

16. Damn I was hopeful.

[Tellurian]

18. Better look for machine fraud there! nm

[cureautismnow]

19. Lamont conceded.

So, I guess that's it. :-( I say 2 out of 3 wins.

[deutsey]

20. Sad outcome...at least Bernie won and Harris lost

:evilgrin:

[Tom Joad]

21. Lamont Conceding to Joe Lieberman.

The warmonger wins in this one.

Headline in NYT in Breaking News.

[blue cat]

22. Not to worry

Lament will be back, for the party at a later time.

[TechBear_Seattle]

23. You mean the traitor to his party

I desperately hope that the Dems get enough of the Senate to kick Lieberman out on his scrawny butt.

[Alacrat]

24. Already?

I just read it was way to early, and it was very close, what gives?

[Straight Shooter]

25. Lieberman. The zombie of the Democratic party.

Every time you think he's dead, he rises up and terrorizes us again. :(

[Crunchy Frog]

26. Fuck!

[KalicoKitty]

29. Republicans bought and paid for LIEberman!

GOP secretly channeled millions to Lieberman

[anotherdrew]

27. seems too early, wait till the morning or 65%+ reporting n/t

[tblue37]

28. ??? I went to the NY Times but didn't find any headline

or article saying Lamont had conceded.

[kylemac]

31. This is awful

From WTNH.com on Lieberman's victory speech:

Lieberman said that since he is going back to the Senate as an Independent he will be beholden to no political party but rather will "only be beholden to the people of Connecticut and my conscience."

Not good at all. I don't trust this man.

[genieroze]

32. UGH!

:puke:

[bigriver]

33. Where was Clinton? Where was Obama?

I'm crying.

and I won't forget.

fuck 'em.

[Zhade]

34. If lieberman thinks we'll forget his transgressions, he's wrong.

NT!

[screenplaya]

35. We lost the battle, but won the war.

6 year terms are way to long in this day and age. It lets a politic entrench himself in governing, develop his brand and live off the fruits of others.

[Bob3]

36. well you can't have everything

Still it would have been nice.

However I suspect he's going to find the world has changed a lot since he was last missing votes - the gravy train isn't going to be quiet as large and fox news isn't going to ask an independent to kick the chair out from under the senate Democrats as much as he likes to think.

still god he is such a wanker.

[ljm2002]

37. My biggest disappointment of the night...

...although it was pretty much a given.

Oh, how I wanted Lamont to win it.

Well regardless, he really showed us something in his campaign. He tapped in early to the growing discontent with the Iraq war, and showed that it was real, paving the way for others to make it a big issue. And that has worked out rather well for us, hasn't it!

Good on ya, Ned!

:toast:

[CTLawGuy]

38. Thank you Sens. Pryor, Landrieu, Nelson, Carper

and Sen-Loser Ford, and especially Harry Reid.

Your lack of loyalty and respect for the voters of the CT dem party will be remembered

[depakid]

39. These DINO are next to be targeted

And defeated. They're as bad as Republicans-
