5. Moving over to the "big cities" now.

So we'll see what happens.

[Guaranteed]

7. With 54% in, if this doesn't start leveling out I call shenanigans.

It should have leveled out long ago, in fact- 12% swing from 15% to 54% of the precincts? Come on. It's already fishy...

[goclark]

13. Real fishy!

Interesting ~ this way the Democrats can't call DIEBOLD.


Huuum :puke:

[napi21]

50. I think you're wrong jumping to that conclusion.

I haven't seen what counties or cities were reported first, and that can wildly swing a vote margin. Whether we get a Lamont win or not doesn't mean the vote talley was bad!

I was listening to cspan earlier this evening and they had guests on from the Hartford Currant and Congressional Quarterly plus they were taking calls from viewers. Both reporters said there were quite a few voters who told THEM that they were voting for the devil they knew rather than the unknown, or I hate the war & I hate Shrub but Joe saved my job in the ship yard... Just a lot of hesitation by many voters to take a risk.

I hope Lamont wins too, but if he doesn't I really don't think it was vote tamering. I've read that most precincts use the lever machines and some others use the optical scans.. Both of those leave a paper trail.

[longship]

8. CTBob is reporting that absentee ballots are being counted.

Maybe that's why the Lieberman bump?

I WILL NOT WATCH FOX.

I'm sure someone will post what they said, but I could care less.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

33. My boss commented, "Did you see what was said on Hannity and

Colmes..?" I stopped him right there and said, "That channel is not allowed in our household." He's a big Bushie.

[cascadiance]

14. Any sites give the county breakdowns of what's reported in?

Then we can guess where the demographics are going to be voting later.

[ER One Seven]

[ncrainbowgrrl]

76. Exactly. A win is a win. (and is a win for all people-powered campaigns)

Looks like the people have won, no matter the outcome of the race- Joementum has had to claw, fight and squirm his way back into this thing. That is SO rare for an incumbent. Not to mention that this particular incumbent was the VP choice of his party back in 2000. I take a lot away from this campaign- I think it shows that complacency is the challenger that most incumbents dream about, and this people- powered campaign shows that there's really no reason to be complacent. After Hackett last year, and now Lamont, we can seriously go after districts that we thought were write-offs... And we SHOULD. Even if it's just to make the incumbent spend out their war chest... If that money isn't there, they can't give it to more cash-strapped allies.

Interesting night, no matter who wins.

57. Are you a "Ned Head"?

I heard that on majority report tonight. Love it!

DKos/PsiFighter37:

MAJOR UPDATE: 80% OF THE VOTE COUNTED: 117K VOTES FOR LAMONT, 103K FOR LIEBERMAN. Someone calculate this! CT Blogger is saying, “It’s over.” Let’s wait and see.>

[Sgent]

61. According to PsiFighter (see DKos)

who is live blogging from Lamont headquarters, they have 80% reporting with Lamont at 117k vs. Joes 103k.

I can just see Ted, majestically striding in to the Lieberman headquarters... "Out of the way, sonny-jim," he barks at the young-uns trying to shift load from one server to another. "I've got tubes to enlarge! What were you people thinking? Look at the size of these tubes! You can't act like it's a dump truck! They're tubes, consarn it!"
