With 84% of precincts reporting (625 of 748)
Lamont 52%
Lieberman 48%

With 123 precincts yet to report, and a difference of roughly 1,800 votes you want to take Drudge's word as gospel? Drudge? But I guess like attracts like, or should I say liar attracts liar?

Connecticut // U.S. Senate - - Dem Primary 625 of 748 Precincts Reporting - 83.56% Lamont, Ned 120,616 51.88% **Winner Lieberman, Joe (i) 111,887 48.12%

I guess as he does, the question I ask you is should you consider Greg a reliable source? A man who repeats lies, who doesn't care about the facts or even to check a source??? If you do then you are no better than those who listen to Anne Coulter or Sean Hannity.. please be better than that.

I have no control over the voters of CT, I can only watch what ends up being the result, the question you should be answering is why is it the votes from 123 districts don't rate as important to you? Is it that voter rights aren't important enough to matter now to the power mad neo-left?

It's 8,727 votes, sorry. I didn't use my calculator. :) Still, there are 123 districts left to report in. I don't know what site, if any would have a break down of which districts have yet to report in.. so I can't guess on what the population sizes of those districts amount to.. are they urban areas or more rural.

Nevertheless, as liberals (or perhaps I'm being to generous assuming?) who spoke out against the denial of voter rights, not counting ballots that we should wait until the final numbers are included in the total. And frankly, Matt Drudge isn't interested in helping democrats period... he's a crumb..

What network are you watching, I'm flipping back and forth between cable network news as I type.

Thank goodness, Hartford is finally in:

Hartford 23 of 23 reporting
JL=4,184 - 48.40%
NL=4,460 - 51.60%

Relieved,
Sheila in CT

What's left are smaller municipalities.

That's the ballgame.

What are you talking about??

My point is that Lieberman is quite clearly going to finish with less votes at this time. So yes, the votes do matter.

You're right cscs, both you and drudge are fascist fucking assholes. I'll add racist to that as well. But then I've held that opinion of you for more than a year now.

With 713 precincts reporting, Lamont is up by 10,270. There are 35 precincts left, or around 14,000 votes.

Lieberman needs about 12,000 of these to win.

WTNH reports as of 10:59:
Precincts Reporting: 713 of 757 - 94%
Candidate Incumbent Votes Vote %
Joe Lieberman X 128,566 48%
Ned Lamont 138,836 52%

Lieberman would have to overcome a 10,000+ vote margin in the 44 remaining precincts.
Seems unlikely to say the least.

Joe Lieberman is a decent human being and a class act. I can't vote for him as an independent, and honestly I didn't contribute to his primary campaign, but I will send a donation to his independent run. Decent people have to stand up to fascistic attempts to derail elections, who use dirty tricks and racist propaganda to smear good people. Whether they're of the right wing or neo-left wing variety, those tactics are deplorable and anti-democratic.

If you want to save the democratic party and help us win this fall to take back the congress and the whitehouse in '08, then you will do the same.

The big question now is will Lieberman go 'I' and run in Nov, or will party pressure force him to drop out. I suspect the margin is small enough to give him cover.

He just said in the concession speech that the independent run starts tomorrow.

If he'd fought as hard in 2000 against Bush/Cheney as he says he's going to against Lamont, maybe he'd be Vice-President now.

heh heh. 

Have questions about the Cafe? Try here.

He said just now that he was running and planning on winning in the Fall.

Hopefully, Joe will do what is best for his party and his country, and bow out.

Democracy won!

Hooray for the anti-incumbant fever, I hope this fever spreads throughout the country. If Joe Lieberman can be defeated, they all can, and we can get some real change going.

He'll maybe want to get a better website.

Maybe.

Let me see if I have this right: the way to help the Democratic party take back the Congress is to send a check to Joe Lieberman--now that he has said he will be running as an independent?

I have to admit the logic of that line of thinking escapes me.

Mary, this guy has accepted the funding and platform of this party, has been the Veep candidate, and has had major party figures come out and campaign for him, despite his having spent the last several years undermining his own party and attacking his fellow Dems.

And now he's announced his intent to disregard the will of his party as expressed by voters through the primary process.

And you call that class?

How much does he pay?

"I" is perfect for the Senator.
