It will split the Dem vote and the Repug will win

2. Perhaps that is the point. Joe is pretty snuggly with Bush, maybe this |
|
is all just a part of the plan. Toss the Dems what they think is a victory, then yank the rug out from under them when it really counts.
NAZIS!

13. People need to realize that that is a monstrous turnout for a |
|
party primary in August. There are a lot of good, decent people who voted for Lieberman who will not take kindly to his ego trip of an Independent campaign.

6. no. the republican is really weak |
|
I heard on NPR during the Vietnam war that happened in Conn. but b/c the Republican is so weak Lieberman won't split the ticket which may be one reason why he is running as an independent. In polls Lieberman wins in a three way race unfortunately

17. Welcome to DU! Last poll I saw showed 3-way as 40-40-15 |
|
As Lieberman moves to the center, and as leading Democrats line up behind Lamont as they promised, I think we'll see Joe drop a few points. It'll be close. But as Lieberman has vowed to organize with the Democrats, it's still a win-win situation for us.

8. That's what everyone said about Nader running |
|
in 2004..
He won't split the vote too much on the line for CT, CT people will come to realize that.
Plus it's going to be a PR nightmare for him to brush off the will of 52 Percent of the vote (uncounted) who wanted him gone.
CT is a pretty solid blue state.

The GOP candidate is pulling 12% against both. There will be a Dem Senator at the end of this.

... this vote is as much a referendum on Bush and his band of merry fuckups as it is anything else.
No way a pure Repuke is going to win. Not gonna happen.
