30. Nice playing with numbers
Do you really think then that the fewer than 20% who voted for Lieberman on the 8th matter more?

Or that 100% of the electorate will turn out for the general?

Lieberman made a choice -- to put his private ambitions ahead of what's right, and what's best for the state. This is the man who couldn't even win a presidential primary here, remember?

Lamont and his supporters have shown no contempt for the electorate. They played by the rules, entered the party primary, and won. Now they are involved in a general election as the choice of their party. How is that contempuous in any way of the process or the electorate? Or did you think that Lamont should step aside? Now THAT would be showing some contempt for the voters.

What voters there were chose Lamont. You can play with the numbers any way you like, that fact won't change. It's how elections work (at least when they're fair and don't involve Diebold and friends).
