[n2doc]

8. Hate to rain on the parade, but is anyone else worried about the trend

So far Joe has been eating into Ned's lead with each update. It is eerily like the mexican election...Nervous!

[im10ashus]

20. Actually it's been consisent within about 2 percentage points.

And Ned has been ahead the whole time. Optimistic here. :hi:

[grytpype]

23. Joe is expected to do better in urban areas, which are reporting later.

So don't worry, this was expected.

[LynzM]

24. Yup, just noted the same thing.

*nerves*

[spooky3]

25. I am. And DailyKos says the precincts that will be most

supportive of Lieberman will report later rather than earlier.

[Atman]

26. You mean, it's eerily like a United States election.

Wait until most of America has gone to bed, then pull the switcheroo in the wee hours of the night. It's worked for them before.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

28. I ran my slide-rule through the trend

admittedly, a slide rule is not equiped with fancy programming, but, the progression is such that Lamont wins by 8.7%.

against an incumbent, that constitutes a real MANDATE.

[shadowknows69]

32. When it should have nearly stabilized by now

a little nervous myself n2doc. They pretty much called the NY primary in 2004 with like 9% of the vote in. Lieberman shouldn't gain more than a couple the rest of the night or there's something rotten in Denmark, er Connecticut.

[Wisconsin Larry]

43. Absolutely worried. I went to bed in 2004 after the exit polls showed

Kerry had the election. And of course, woke up to another stolen election and was severely depressed for months afterwords.
Tonight, I'm not going to bed until the last vote is "counted".

[Jawja]

9. Way to go,

Connecticut DUers! :toast:

(I haven't been this excited since we knocked off Ralph Reed...)

[WLKjr]

11. Joe-mentum is loosing whatever he thought he had

These preliminary results are not a suprise to me, it just goes to show that people are fed up and want change. Simply put, people have had enough of the same ol' shit from the current leadership.

[Clyde_dubyaD40]

19. If Loserman loses by more than 10%

will he still run as an independent?

[Hamlette]

21. the lead is shrinking, tell me something so I won't worry

are the Lamont "districts" reporting early? Ack.

[rpgamerd00d]

29. Yes, small towns report quick, large cities take longer.

Small towns go for Lamont.
Cities go for Lieberman.

[Guaranteed]

34. A third of the vote has been counted, and it's going to start getting

very difficult to get the numbers to change now.

In fact, if the lead keeps shrinking significantly it would be a sign of voting irregularities.

[RagAss]

35. of course they are...that's the Rove formula.....

(whistling)

don't bring everybody down like this

don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is,
don't worry, be happy,
i'm not worried

[BlooInBloo]

39. The *percentage* lead is shrinking. The absolute number lead...

... seems to be about constant, to eyeball it...

2/1 - wow - a 100% lead

3/2 - doh - only a 50% lead

4/3 - aw crap - only 33% lead

But the actual difference is staying constant. Get it?

Maybe I'm mis-eyeballing the numbers tho....

[Sydnie]

22. What's the trigger number for a run off?

Heaven forbid, but how close does it have to be and still avoid a run off?

[longship]

30. No run-offs in CT.

This is it!

[Sydnie]

38. Oh, this is what it says at the top of the Courant site

Connecticut
August 08, 2006 - 09:14PM ET (i) = incumbent (check mark graphic) = winner (red R graphic)= runoff

Wasn't sure what that meant. That's good news then. :woohoo:

[Breeze54]

33. Update

12% of precincts: McKinney 873 - 26.1%, Johnson 2,466 - 73.9%

6% of precincts: Lieberman 7,199 - 43.4%, Lamont 9,399 - 56.6%

[im10ashus]

41. That's WAY old, Breeze54.

The CT results already have 35% reporting.

[Justice Is Comin]

40. Can anyone photoshop Lieberman's head onto an elephant ?

[im10ashus]

44. It already is, in theory.

48. Next time you see him BUST OUT your camera

Even though I don't really know who he is or what he's about, but I'm sick of the Dumbya ass-kissing from Lieberman so....

props to Ned Lamont. Yeeee-ahh. ?

68. Need a shot yet

74. the gap is still narrowing

not good.

[Jersey Devil]

76. Could be the city vote coming in

The suburban, and more liberal vote, usually comes in later

[rodeodance]

82. but big cites went to Kerry last time.

[cascadiance]

89. I suspect we started with the absentee counts...

Which might be more reflecting the ultimate statewide count percentage-wise. Then the subsequent early counts will likely come in from smaller counties, which will lean more towards Lieberman, which is now giving us this "narrowing effect". If Lamont can keep Lieberman from overtaking him at this stage, I suspect that the big city numbers will put him over the top later.

[Clarkie1]

78. I'm surpised it's this close.

I didn't expect so many Democrats would come out in the primary to vote for Lieberman. I wonder what motivated Lieberman supporters.

Hope Lamont wins. I still think he will, but it's closer than I thought.

84. Do the cities go for lamont or lieberman? n/t

[Sydnie]

90. Conason was saying on AAR tonight that the big cities will go

to Lieberman. It will be the more affluent, more liberal suburbs that will go for Ned.

[Clarkie1]

85. So will big cities presumably go for Lamont or Lieberman? nt

92. I surprised so many Dem Primary voters supported Lieberman.

Hope Lamont pulls out the win, I think he will but I'm sure surprised it's this close. I thought Lamont people would come out in much larger numbers than Lieberman people.

[NewJeffCT]

96. CT is called "The Land of Steady Habits"

we may be a BLUE state, but there are a lot of light blue/purple types here.

[lister666]

87. According to WTNH (New Haven)
