6. Ct Bob, at the campaign HQ says he hears that we took Hartford-

unofficial-

Hartford
Reports coming in to the blog room are that Lamont won almost every precinct in Hartford -- if this is true, that's the ball game. Hard to get anything for attribution, but these are folks we have been working with all day.

Don't panic

11. Watching the local news here...they're just waiting for Joe to concede.

I don't think we can expect any surprises. The CBS affiliate is reporting that very few Lieberman supporters are in the hotel conference room serving as the "party" room. "Very few campaign workers, very few democratic dignitaries and supporters. We're just waiting to hear from Joe Lieberman, who hasn't made an appearance yet."

Joe is upstairs crying. I wouldn't worry about Hartford.

12. Don't worry

I've been checking city by city. New Haven is connecticut's biggest city and 13,000 vote were cast (Ned won by 500 in joe's home town). Hartford is about half the size, I think. New Haven has 45 precincts and Hartford has 23, roughly half. As I extrapolate those numbers, I think no more than 8,000 votes could have been cast there. A 60% to 40% Lieberman breakdown, joe's a goner.

Just in, Lamont holds 52% to 48% lead with 93% of precincts reporting.

I think we win.
