4. Never forget
that the cabal in power is determined to remain in power.

Here are some crucial questions to be asking:

If Lamont actually wins the primary tomorrow, will the Republicans throw in a lot of money and support to the Republican candidate?

Will they throw money and support to an independent Lieberman campaign?

Will an independent Lieberman campaign pull enough Democratic votes from Lamont to insure the Republican wins in November?

Here in Kansas big conservative money, mainly in the form of Kansas Club for Growth put a lot of money into a Kansas State House campaign to defeat in incumbent moderate Republican. There's a Democrat running in the district in question (the House 16th) and the ousted Republican has indicated a willingness to help the Democrat. But the Democrat is understandably very cash poor, so it's impossible to know at this point if all the moderate Republicans will be willing to vote for him. Hopefully, yes.

In Connecticut there are similar issues about who will be willing to vote for whom come November.

Plus, keep in mind that at this point we can't really know how the final weeks of the election campaign will play out. Not to mention the Diebold machines, the lack of adequate exit polling, and the laziness of the main-stream media and we'll have no good way of checking up on "anomalous" results that keep or put Republicans in power.
