Machinery doing for Lamont right now?

2. Joe has some loyal Dems in his state and all the Republican support.

Hopefully the loyal Dems will come to their senses and see Joe for what he really is, a Republican.

August 17, 2006 - Lieberman Leads Among Likely Connecticut Voters, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Strong Democratic Boost Gives Rell 2 -1 Lead

Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman, running as an independent, gets 53 percent of likely voters, with 41 percent for Democratic primary winner Ned Lamont and 4 percent for Republican Alan Schlesinger, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.


Among registered voters, Sen. Lieberman gets 49 percent, followed by Lamont with 38 percent and Schlesinger with 4 percent. This compares to a 51 - 27 percent Lieberman lead over Lamont, with 9 percent for Schlesinger in a July 20 poll by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

6. I Predicted A Lamont Win In Primary

I said that it would be a convincing victory, and while it wasn't totally convincing, it was enough.

Now, I think that Lieberman will probably win in November. I hope I'm wrong. I would love to be way off base. But I think that's their plan.

At least we tried. That's what liberals do best. They try.

8. Well, it doesn't hurt his chances that the "terror plot"

story came out the day after his defeat. It's almost as if it was planned.

9. The same poll had Lieberman with a 24 pt. lead a month ago

So Lamont decreased the lead in half.

This poll is good news.

10. Republicans love Joe. They think he is basically a moderate Republican

So, he is getting the support from them. He is their defacto candidate.

11. 53 - 41 is not bad at all

I don't know exactly how to move that number, but it's a helluva lot better than lots of folks have to deal with. It might even be better than Webb's numbers in Virginia, not sure. Lamont has just got to get out there and convince people that this is more than a bunch of loons taking over the Dem Party and that the change needed for health care, education, women's rights, economy, REQUIRES a new kind of Democrat.

12. There's more registered Indy's

in Connecticut. They go is the key to who wins, I suspect.
