60. I voted Not at All
Maybe I'm misinterpreting the question but as I understood it if you voted for Lieberman and he lost should you then support Lamont solely because he won. And I disagree with that. I've always believed in supporting candidates as opposed to parties. While I'm a Democrat and proud of it I don't believe blind loyalty is always best. When I vote for a particular candidate it's because that candidate is the one who I believe best represents me and what I believe in. If my candidate lost then so be it. But to turn my back on someone who best represented my views solely because he lost I think is wrong.

Lieberman running as a independant is his choice. If he turns his back on the Democratic Party and continues bad mouth it's at his own risk. From everything I've heard this morning tells me he's turned his back on the party. But that's his decision, not mine.
