Reply #18: Lamont needs to campaign against Schlesinger

[Awsi Dooger]

Treat it like a standard D vs. R race, at least partially. His fortunes are directly tied to the percentage Schlesinger receives, and I hope he realizes that.

I prioritize proper handicapping and if Lamont doesn't engage Schlesinger he's making a mistake almost on the level of Lieberman's blunders during the primary.

At least Schlesinger will be in the debates. Larry King mentioned inviting him last night. So the name recognition will soar and if Schlesinger isn't totally inept his percentage goes up, every additional point basically swiped from Lieberman.

Schlesinger's abysmal number is what surprised me the most. I anticipated something like Lieberman 43, Lamont 36, Schlesinger 12.

Notice there's only 7% undecided in Rasmussen's poll. That's low especially for a 3-way.
