10:07 pm. 80% of votes are in, Lamont keeps an 8,000 vote lead. Why arent' the networks calling it?

Being a Democratic primary and all if it is a close race will there be charges of election fraud no matter who wins?

Think she'll run as an independent?

How exactly is he going to win when republicans and independents are added to this mix?

A check from Hillary Clinton's HILLPAC is being cut to Ned Lamont for five thousand dollars. She's the first one to be counted on and make good on her promise to support the winner of the Connecticut primary. We can only hope that the rest of the Democratic Party stands behind Ned in his bid to win the Senate seat.

It doesn't matter what Lamont is for, it is the support of him by such people as "tomjones" that will brand him as anti-war far Left and with the jewish tie in, then he becomes anti-Israel.

"The Democratic voters of Connecticut have spoken and chosen Ned Lamont as their nominee. Both we and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) fully support Mr. Lamont's candidacy. Congratulations to Ned on his victory and on a race well run. "Joe Lieberman has been an effective Democratic Senator for Connecticut and for America. But the perception was that he was too close to George Bush and this election was, in many respects, a referendum on the President more than anything else. The results bode well for Democratic victories in November and our efforts to take the country in a new direction."

Cowboy X -- no, I didn't imply or say that no one should challenge Lieberman or any other standing politician at any level, or of any party. I question the long term value of the method used in CT.

. I question the long term value of the method used in CT.

With people like Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton backing him, it's kinda obvious. He's about as far left as it gets! If not...who is farther?

She's a racist and needs to go away.

as as of this morning 60% of ALL Amercans want the U.S. out of Iraq.

"The Democrats are intolerant" --this from the party of the tiny tent The Republicans are in charge of the legislature and the admnistrative side of our government. Democrats have a positive platform but due to Republican bungling and being in charge --we never see any debate on the Dem proposals Hard left is not a term I use and frankly its more GOP rhetoric The Democratic party is a big open tent and everyone is wants to can participate --but when the vote is over (wave that purple finger) it is the voter who decides The GOP is the living embodiment of the Peter Principle and we are all suffering for it. What positive programs have we seen from the GOP? afterall they are in charge and can get anything they want

I'm talking about the attacks I've read on blogs maliciously attacking Lieberman not only for holding to his conviction (not that I agree with it but you have to admit he has stamina of position) but also for his religion, etc

According to a close Lieberman adviser, the President's political guru, Karl Rove, has reached out to the Lieberman camp with a message straight from the Oval Office: "The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do."

He may not be "hard left" but he's a liberal and is left of center.

Lamont's supporters' antics I don't know about the website - maybe it was a big 'coincidence' that it crashed the day of the last GOTV push. I do know that Lamont headquarters allowed some college punk to walk around with a derogatory sign behind commentators when the TV cameras were on. I'm sure Lamont knew nothing about that either. Truly. But it shows the character of his supporters. Not just the one guy with the sign, but who let him in? Who let him walk around with it? Are there no professionals who dare step in? Like the blackface incident and Lamont's reaction to it - we have three months of antics from his crowd (and him having to deal with it in response) - and watch them ramp up as the polls show a close race, which they will. When is the next racist comment? Some anti-semitic rant? Sensible people in CT are going to look at the chief supporters of Lamont, and frankly will not want to be supportive of him in November.
