*****THE OFFICIAL LAMONT/LIEBERMAN THREAD #1*******

[ncrainbowgrrl]

Feel free to start posting away here!

[Botany]

1. Me first

4. me second

[AnOhioan]

2. A toast to Ned..... n/t

[davidinalameda]

3. why is your avatar a unicycle

you didn't say we had to post on subject!

:bounce:

:hi:

[ncrainbowgrrl]

14. True enough!

Because I ride a unicycle and can't really handle a 2 wheeled bike. Unicycling side gigs can be quite monetarily advantageous! :hi:

[TlalocW]

30. Really?

We need to talk then. I'm a magician/balloon twister/juggler, and I can ride a unicycle as well, but never got past more than just going long distances and basic maneuvering. I can juggle on a unicycle though. What kind of gigs do you get?

TlalocW

[ncrainbowgrrl]

51. I also juggle- a bit rusty on the combination though...

Some corporate events, b-day parties, other assorted random events- usually people mention "I've got this thing that I was looking for something different for... " after I either talk about riding, or have my unicycle with me. :-)

[TlalocW]

59. So do you have a routine or...?

Like a magic routine except done on unicycle, or what do you do? It's hard enough for me to fill 30 minutes of a birthday party with a magic show. I can't imagine what I would do on a unicycle.

TlalocW

[ncrainbowgrrl]

82. some routine, some basic fun with the people I'm working with

I used to teach some circus arts- so when people (usually the joker in the group of adults) think it'll be easy- I let them try- and then spot them and usually with the help of another person- they get a few feet, and people start to laugh and cheer-good teambuilding event for them, and I don't mind- unless my shins take the abuse that was once familiar- it's painful when the pedals slam into your shins (trust me!)

Anyhow- we should talk sometime- and include proud patriot (another mod) and fellow unicyclist! We could have a DU unicycle contingent at a rally!

[TlalocW]

110. Cool

But instead of a contingent, I kind of want to be more of a gang or a group of one-wheeled intimidators. :)

I always liked riding towards someone standing in front of me while flailing my arms then grabbing onto them around the neck (lightly) and spinning around them screaming.

TlalocW

[Guaranteed]

5. Lamont's going to win big.

Ya'll can bow down and tell me I was "right all along" when it happens.

At least by 8%, probably more- much more.

[David Zephyr]

105. Honey, I'll bow and more.

I know you've been saying he will win. I also believe Lamont will win. I just feel it in my bones.

[Greeby]

6. Snacks everyone

:popcorn: :beer: :toast: :party:

[MrCoffee]

10. popcorn and beer...

slow down boss, before too long, it's gonna be :puke:

[high density]

7. Neck & Neck

Zero to Zero!

[regnaD kciN]

49. Contrary to claims of the loony-left bloggers...

...current results show Lieberman-Lamont in a dead heat. :-)

(And, by the way, is it necessary to use the word "neck" in a Lieberman thread? :evilgrin: )

[rpgamerd00d]

8. Woot! nth post!

I like to hedge my bets...

:D

[IChing]

9. OK, sounds great but is it necessary

LOL

[panader0]

11. How can the Georgia polls be closed and results coming in.

when there's no word from CT?

[Greeby]

15. Georgia closed at 7pm local time

Connecticut closes in a few minutes at 8pm local time

[LisaM]

16. Because they have lever machines & are counting the votes?

That's my guess. They're doing an actual count. It takes longer.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

Good Luck Ned! You Are Our New Voice!

[wakeme2008]

12. thnks for starting this

[TAPat]

24. Well, I'm so glad it's finally official -

GO NED! :patriot:

[HereSince1628]

25. Minutes away from the CT polls closing, I want to say thanks

to all those who worked for Lamont and to put an end to Congress' rubber-stamping W's insanity. You made me feel like alternatives are possible!

[proud patriot]

26. Good Evening Folks

proud patriot signing in

[loudsue]

Nice to see you here!

[David Zephyr]

109. Howdy, Proud Patriot.

Are we in for a fun night?

[Greeby]

27. CTBob says they'll know by 8:30!

http://ctbob.blogspot.com/2006/08/its-gonna-be-quick.html

Oh boy, nailbiter!

[CabalPowered]

33. Link to the CT SOS results page

http://www.statementofvote-sots.ct.gov/StatementOfVote/WebModules/ReportsLink/USSenCountyView.aspx?Parameter=08/08/2006-Primary

[regnaD kciN]

103. Looks like he was wrong...

It's 8:34 EDT, and only 192 votes have been counted so far. (The results are good -- Lamont by around 2:1, but meaningless so far.)

[niyad]

29. the champagne and caviar are chilling, beer and wine in tubs, and the

hors d'oevres are already on the tables!!

[Gregorian]

31. Just think, we can say Sore Loserman and feel good about it.

Ugh. Sorry. I still can't swallow that one.

This had better be a landslide, or the country is in for more bad times. It's such an epic vote.

[valerief]

34. I wonder if the failure of that awful TV show Joey was an omen. n/t

[WindRavenX]

35. after today's website fiasco...

I'd like to say Fuck You Joe.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

37. LOCAL ANALYSIS in CT

It seems that so far it looks like turnout was higher in the suburbs than in the cities. That may likely favor Lamont because among educated, more affluent voters, he does better in polls.

Polls close in just a few minutes. We'll see in the hours to come.

[stillcool]

38. woo-hoo...I had to stop by for this one...

I tried to stay away...consider myself a bit of a jinx on election night...but...this one....I got to to be here!! Fingers crossed in Mass:kick: :kick:

[Deb]

39. C-SPAN is doing a live call-in on the CT Senate Primary

Lieberman Supporters-[phone], Lamont Supporters-[phone]

Hope some DUers can get through.

Good Luck to Connecticut voters tonight!

[Catchawave]

62. I switched over to Cspan....

Thanks for the info. :hi:

[Richard Steele]

40. Hi rainbowgrrl! Nice thread you got here!

47. ooo000oooo

:D

[SalmonChantedEvening]

48. If I may... a parody for the occasion?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1851534&mesg_id=1851534

[smokey nj]

50. Kos is on Olbermann debunking the Lieberman was hacked

myth.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

56. You're ahead in the polls on election day...

And in April you were eighteen points behind. You would risk all that by doing something as insanely STEWPID as this?


What benefit would it serve? None. Should I stop sounding like Rummy now? You bet!!


It would make no sense for Lamont's campaign to stoop to this at this, or anytime. It's bunk of the highest order.

[smokey nj]

61. I smell Rove and believe me it ain't pretty.....

It's sort of like cat pee mixed with burnt flesh and bad fish.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

72. WAiter, I think I'll pass on the flounder...

;)

[Pale Blue Dot]

52. Local radio is saying that pundits are saying IT WILL BE AN EARLY NIGHT!!

...and it will not be good news for Lieberman!!!

:woohoo:

[ncrainbowgrrl]

55. That would be a happy short night! (n/t)

[Greeby]

53. Lol, check out MyLeftNutmeg (on fellow blogger Spazeboy)

57. Is that supposed to make sense?

I have no idea what you or the blog is talking about.

[Richard Steele]

63. You'll understand when you're older.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[niyad]

75. groooooaaaaaannnnnnn

protection was in place, correct?

[Nimrod2005]

58. 2 sources have said it si going to be an early night..But no

numbers anywhere? none, it is 0-0 as of now?

[arcos]

60. Connecticut Bob says TV says 57-43 Lamont, with 1% in

http://ctbob.blogspot.com/

[Catchawave]

74. Cspan is reporting results as they get them Lamont 60%- Joe 40%

very small percentage votes are in right now.

Things are starting to move!!!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

http://ctbob.blogspot.com/2006/08/tims-send-off.html

[KingFlorez]

67. Keeping my fingers crossed Joe pulls this out

If he loses, we have no chance at taking the Senate

[arcos]

68. LOL!

:rofl:

[senseandsensibility]

70. uh

Just uh.

[Clarkie1]

71. Why do you say that?

If Joe loses, either Lamont or Lieberman will win. How does that hurt our chances of taking the senate?

[stop the bleeding]

111. I may be slow sometimes, but this statement just doesn't make sense

Ned wins Dem goes to the Senate, Joe wins a Dem goes to the Senate. :shrug:what am I missing?

[Hippo_Tron]

69. My Prediction: Lamont Wins... FATALITY!

I'm waiting for someone to get this reference...

[Supply Side Jesus]

78. Excellent.....

Think hel'll rip out his spine? or give him some ballons?

[MercutioATC]

79. I'm more conservative (no pun intended)...Lamont by 4

[longship]

76. I predict Lamont 56% / Lieberman 43%

Just a SWAG (scientific wild-assed guess)

[Nimrod2005]

I said 56% Lamont, great minds.........

[Bonhomme Richard]

96. Windham is a county in CT...

There are 8 counties in CT

[senseandsensibility]
