Questions for our Connecticut members [View All]

[hyphenate]

I know that Lieberman is in the fight of his career to keep his seat as a Senator, and that Ned Lamont is his (also) Democratic opponent in the primaries, which I believe are next week?

Lieberman is getting all kinds of votes of confidence and endorsements, and as is the case with many non-Connecticut resident DUers, we don't trust Lieberman because he is allegedly "in bed" with the Republicans.

I saw Lamont on The Colbert Report the other night and liked him. It seems like he's got a lot of energy to do things, but what sets Lamont apart from Lieberman, other than his stance on the war in Iraq? Does he have the ability to make good on some of his bolder statements? Is he electable?

If he does defeat Lieberman in the primaries, and Joe does run independently, would the possibility of them splitting the Democratic vote enable a Pub to win? I think that is the one thing we need to avoid at all possible costs.

What does the race look like right now, this close to the primaries? What do you think the outcome should be?

Asking this in the main forum because a lot of our newer members will see it here.
