"Breaking News about things breaking" :rofl:

[hootinholler]

11. Hmmm, seems to be the plan of the day...

Server Error in '/StatementOfVote' Application.
Server Too Busy

Must be Lieberman's hackers.

Or maybe the weinie MS .NET framework can't handle the entire nation hitting it at the same time ;)

-Hoot

[TlalocW]

18. In any event

Lieberman will soon take to the airwaves to accuse Lamont personally of hacking the various sites giving vote count updates.

14. I can feel the Joe-nertia.

And it feels like....freedom.

[Moloch]

19. 8:45 - 56-44 Lamont

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. That's a big thumping for an incumbent.

:D

[Hippo_Tron]

20. I'm predicting Lamont by 7

I think that Joe has managed to get a good bit of his supporters to come out for him in the last week, so I think that it will be harder for Lamont to break 10 than we think. Also, the turnout today was huge so I don't think it will be a squeaker, either. Still, I hope that he will win in a landslide.

[Sydnie]

21. Just got home from work - looking good so far, huh?

I have been thinking about this primary all day. I hope Ned pulls it out for all of us!

Remembering the sting after the 2004 election. Let`s hope we succeed in sending a strong anti-war messgae.

Peace,

Maggie

[mnhtnbb]

38. Bye bye Joe!

[Fleshdancer]

40. WTF? Olberman just reported that the CT SOS vote count site just

went down. Any more word on this???

[Phx_Dem]

43. It's down....

[Catchawave]

46. I just posted this in the wrong place.....

Breaking news about things breaking he snarked !

The website crashed like Joe's did.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

47. Probably overload from everyone across the country hitting the site

(I hope, anyway)

[MaggieSwanson]

53. It was reported earlier

on this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1852113&mesg_id=1852638 by wakeme2008.

The whole world is watching this one, I'm not surprised.

[Buck Turgidson]

64. It's sporadic at best.

Choking on the traffic. Occasionally, though, it does produce some numbers. But the numbers are different than the TV stations. ?humph?

Last numbers that I saw were 822 to 535, Lamont.

44. Funny thing I've noticed

Most of the websites showing the voting results have a little (i) next to Joe's name. I know it stands for incumbent, but I can't help think it's an omen of his future political association after tonight (independent).

[spooky3]

50. or invisible

[ncrainbowgrrl]

56. It's also his middle initial.

:shrug: Looks like it may have been in the cards for good ol' Joe.

45. Has the humidity gotten to them yet? ;-D

48. WooHOO!!!! Lamont gaining even more - 14.17% in

[Guaranteed]

67. This is over....Lamont won.

With these numbers the only question left is how badly Lamont is going to trash Lieberman- and that's only a question because it could be that districts that are more likely to support Lamont are able to get their numbers in earlier.

Previous analysis seems to point to the fact that Lamont districts are getting the highest turnout, though, which would mean that his lead will only widen. Even that question that is left is basically statistically moot.

[AlamoDemoc]

84. 106 of 748 Precincts reporting @ 8:57est are too early for celebration

I think we should wait better results.

[Nimrod2005]

51. Almost 15% in, Lamont up by a 16%!!!! can you say YES YES YES!

Can you say the people are going to prevail?

[Nimrod2005]

63. CT folks, any reason to think trend will change?

Do we know of any large and strong Joe pockets anywhere in the state?

So far, looks like it is going to Lamont by double digits/

[milkyway]

55. Hillary must be feeling ill tonight.

59. I predicted Lamont by 16% in thread #1...

Looks like I wasn't that far off.

[MaggieSwanson]

65. ...and I'm hoping you're correct!

:bounce:

[Rose Siding]

66. MyDD reports that Joe took Stamford

without cutting into Ned's lead.

And Markos warns that results from urban areas (where Joe's supposed to be strongest) will come in last.

[Guaranteed]

70. But people were saying earlier that turnout was highest in Lamont

districts.

[NewJeffCT]

71. agreed - so please don't get too excited yet

However, despite both sides trying to turn out the African American vote, turnout in the cities was lower than in the suburbs.

[senseandsensibility]

73. Can someone explain to me why

Joey would do better in the urban areas?

[Guaranteed]

77. For some reason, the analysis has been that lower-income people

are more likely to support Lieberman. ???

[ChairmanAgnostic]

87. car exhaust

the excessive amounts tend to turn one into a GOP.

[senseandsensibility]

100. As good a reason as I've heard anywhere else.

74. does anyone have a link that shows results by district?

I know I have seen those in other races and wondered if any site gave a breakdown of where the results are coming from.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

78. I also would like that link- thanks for asking! (n/t)

[ronnykmarshall]

75. If Lieberman loses big

do you think he'll say tonight if he's going to go indy??

I think the Clintons and other peeps in the party have spoken to him to NOT do that.

What do y'all think?

[longship]

85. Not just the Clintons.

Lautenberg has already been talking to Joe about that.

I imagine he's going to have one of those Nixon vs Goldwater|Rhodes|Scott moments.
Joe needs a Reid|Kerry|Clinton moment.

[saigon68]

86. HE'LL DO IT

[senseandsensibility]

Don't think he'll listen to anyone but himself.

He's all about Joey.

This is HUGH!!111!!1 IM SERIES.

[sweetheart]

99. can we write his epitaph yet?

Joe Lieberman was a man of his time, and when his time passed, like so many men in history,
he overstayed his welcome and had to be dissuaded by popular discontent. And for the rest of
his life he stayed convinced that his cause was holy and that there had been a terminal
breakdown in american society because people failed to support his vision.

His life stands a pleasant irony to anyone who wonders about political trends and
whether "black" is the next years pink, but what we know for sure, is that that
joe never changed his style, locked in the 1980's until his passing, everyone who
loved joe remembers his doll collection fondly. ;=)

But who can forget when Robbespierre hacked off the limbs of sir joe of DNC, and spiced
with rosemary, thyme and some basil, fed a tenderly cooked leg of warmonger to the wife
of the noble. Yet in the barbarity of the american people's revolution of 2040, the
joes were of little consequence. It was the burden that sir joe was to carry all his days,
why that whole thing with gore just didn't work out.

In his latter years, lieberman experienced a rebirth as a failure, having so much in common
with so many other americans who "could have been" or "should have been". And holy joe
became their patron saint, a proud advocate of medicinal cannabis until his death
in a car accident April 30, 2055.
