Poll question: What will Lieberman Democrats do?
There's a lot of them in Connecticut...nearly as many as Lamont Democrats. Come Novemeber, what will they do?

What ever they decide to do, it will be interesting to watch. And what about all those Republicans and independents, what will they do? (but that's for another poll).

1. I really think a lot of Lieberman Dems will feel betrayed by his
ignoring the results of the primary. I'm SURE he will loose the support of any Dem in the SEnate, in the House, and inside the Party Power brokers".

I'm telling you, he's toast!

2. Republicans can and did turn out for Lieberman. He won't do nearly...
as well in the general. Especially when the details come out about the "hacking", and many other slimy things.

3. It may bum you out, but Rasmussen had Joe and Ned tied at 40% in a
three way. I don't know why you would think that Joe is going to gain support after losing a primary.

8. Most will probably stay loyal to the Democratic Party........

...... unless of course you have some off the wall development........

Like part of the ultra-left "blogosphere" convincing Lamont that Fidel Castro is not such a bad guy or some other insane position.

10. Connecticut Democrats are not stupid. They'll vote for Lamont,
considering the alternative of allowing a nasty neocon get the seat. I think most of Lieberman's votes were from republicans in the primary anyway!

11. Probably stay home

13. What kinda dem will vote against the dem candidate?
I think that most of the ones who voted for JL last night were being supportive of someone they had voted for before. Most dems will vote dem in a general. Also, like it or not NO ONE LIKES A LOSER OR A TRAITOR.
