Fat ass Charlie Cook thinks Lamont's days are over

[bigdarryl]

He was on Tweety making the argument that Lieberman will win with independents and repubs. the only problem is Lieberman's going to start loosing independents before Nov. in my opinion.

1. he's dishing out the conventional wisdom...but

democrats are motivated to vote and republicans aren't. If Lamont can make strides among indies he will win, as it is he is already gaining in two recent polls.

2. Funny. On yahoo they say that Liebman's lead is within margin of error

On the yahoo home page right NOW....

3. Lamont has already closed in. Lamont will probably win this thing.

4. While I think Cook is normally a good analyst

In this case I think he is wrong.

5. some rethug analyst

said as long as lieberman's Democratic support doesn't go below 35%, he will win. Well looks like joementum is losin' cuz his support among Dems is @ 30%!

6. Joe's re-election campaign is a test to how the country feels

about the war in Iraq. If he wins re-election as independent, it is a sign of electorate comatose in America, which will re-enforce how others from rest of the world think of us that we, as a nation, are dumb and dumber.

7. He's 2 pts behind for chrissakes - within the M.O.E.

And it's trending Lamont's way.

What more do these yahoo's want? Sheesh.

8. dumb@$$ is saying independents essentially "vote along party lines"

DOH!! just b/c a candidate runs as an "independent" doesn't mean "independents" will automatically vote for him! what a complete freaking moron!!
my understanding of "independents" is that they simply do not wish to pledge loyalty to or consistently vote for any single party. in CT they will vote for the person with the platform they like the most. so no, idiot, Joe will NOT necessarily get the "independent vote."

9. In the 2-10 days prior to the primary every single talking head,

analyst, media whore, etc. said that Joe would win. I wish someone could do a compilation of those folks and post it on YouTube. I think Cook was one of them.

10. shows how much of a repuke liarman is, he's willing to split the ticket

11. The more the public learns that Lib is a sore loser - the

more support he will lose. People just instinctively think people should play fair - and Lib is cheating.
