Lamont beats SCHLESINGER 45% to 22%, with 24% undecided

[Pale Blue Dot]

This is one part of the recent poll that's getting very little attention here. Unless ALL of the undecideds went for Schlesinger in the General (in CT, not very likely), Lamont, and the Democrats, win. This is if Lieberman is NOT in the race.

This puts the lie to Lieberman's argument that he is only running as an independent to ensure that Democrats retake the Senate.

Hey, Joe - it looks like we can do it without you!

1. Lamont's surge and the increasing perception that Lieberman is

ineffective, blur-headed, and of fluid loyalties is making Connecticut the most exciting state in politics right now.

This is a big day for Lamont Democrats.

3. Lieberman run crying to

the republican party. I'm sure they'll have some job for you. Maybe become an arms dealer or something.

4. So , Lieberman's justification for running as an indy....

... and undermining the chances of the Democratic nominee ( who it appears, would win in a walk) will now be ..........?

6. He doesn't have one.

It can now ONLY be Lieberman for Lieberman.

7. He's not running as an Indy, he started his own party.
