New Poll Shows Lieberman Losing More Ground To Lamont

http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-senrace-poll-0803,...


Millionaire businessman Ned Lamont, a political novice fueled by deep pockets and voters' outrage over the Iraq war, has extended his lead over veteran Sen. Joe Lieberman less than a week before Connecticut's Democratic primary, according to a new poll released Thursday.

Lamont has support from 54 percent of likely Democrat voters in the new Quinnipiac University poll, while Lieberman has support from 41 percent of voters. A similar poll July 20 showed Lamont with a slight advantage for the first time in the campaign.

1. New Lamont-Liebermann Poll

Quinnipiac Poll put Lamont ahead of Liebermann by 54 to 41. 85% of the respondents have made up their minds.

4. all those repuke endorsements are really helping joementum

not!

[Lochloosa]

31. This one is my favorite.....

HANNITY: (Laughter) I'm thinking... I'm thinking Hannity Conservatives for Lieberman and I'll do a big fundraiser in Connecticut.

LIEBERMAN: Yeah, yeah. Let me just say, I appreciate your friendship, and I appreciate your support. Really.

...

HANNITY: Last question. If you ever want me to do anything, for you and your re-election, I think we ought to have Conservatives for Lieberman, a big fundraiser in Connecticut, and if I could ever do that, I'd make it the biggest blowout celebration ever.

LIEBERMAN: Thanks, pal. You're a great guy. It would just be fun to be with you. My wife, my daughters, my sons...

HANNITY: I don't know why they like me.

LIEBERMAN: You know, you're... well, you're a straight talker, that's one thing they like.

HANNITY: Alright, Senator.

LIEBERMAN: And you're a good to their... husband and father, so how could they not like you?

HANNITY: You're a great American, Senator.

LIEBERMAN: You too, pal.

42. There's needs to be a

car following joe around with him sucking on insanity.

[calimary]

44. The kiss of death!

For Judas Lieberman.

[Hoping4Change]

52. That is hysterical. Thanks for posting.

[Greeby]

5. Smithers, release the smilies

[Crunchy Frog]

13. Amen. n/t

[MaryRN]

45. D.I.T.T.O., GREEBY! LOL

[MaryRN]

43. THANK YOU!!!! MADE MY DAY!!!!

[Demit]

6. I hope the voters in CT don't see this as a fait accompli yet.

The only important numbers are the ones that voters put up at the polls. Go Ned!

[IndianaGreen]

9. Getting the vote out is paramount!

Lieberman will have to be defeated twice: in the primary and in November.

We are a long ways off from sending Lieberman off to his new job as Condi's replacement, or Rummy's.

[CTyankee]

23. If you are in CT help Ned on primary day! They need volunteers

to GOTV. If you have any time at all please give Ned some of it. If you are near New Haven, which is where I volunteer, the number is 772-2405. They can tell you where to go to volunteer elsewhere in the state.

[sallyseven]

41. If he loses by more than 5% he will quit

He will get no support from the Dems.

[MaryRN]

47. Absolutely NOT! We've been burned before...2000, 2004, ya know?

Fortunately, we'll not be using touchscreens which helps...some.

[cyclezealot]

7. Yes. Joe departs with Demo's on way too many issues

I'd be voting for Lamont. But, question. How will this effect the Democratic Party? To defeat such a prominent DLC politician. Will the DLC types ever get over this humiliation. Anything need be done to unify the party. We are going to hurt Hilary's feelings with this likely defeat.

[Kolesar]

10. The DLC has about nothing to do with this

Most democratic party voters don't even know what the DLC is.

[cyclezealot]

30. Don't agree.

The DLC would take out every progressive member of the COngress if they could. The DLC is beholden to organizations like Sachs , GOldman. Their loyalities belong to that group much more so that lets say labor. Trade and international propertiary rights for the likes of Microsoft is what motivates these people.
But, in all fairness, they know they have to cope with progressives when forced to. So, I read LIebermann is helping out several anti- Iraq war Democrats in REpublican districts within COnnecticut. How do we square off with this fact?
We hurt Liebermann do we hurt the chances of these three potential Connecticut Democratic Congressman?

[Kolesar]

35. I'm sure they would, but the DLC does not have that kind of power

(to take out every progressive member of the Congress)

[Kolesar]

8. There is a "business metaphor" for this kind of "Joe-mentum"

Shit flows downhill.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. "Democrat voters" - It's "Democratic" you fucking Courant wankers

It's bad enough that they take up GOP talking points. Must they insult the language as well?

[IndianaGreen]

16. The newspaper endorsed Lieberman

so we wouldn't be surprised when they use "Democrat voters" instead of "Democratic."

[kath]

48. I noticed that as well.

The Repugs sure are successful in twisting the use of language. Fokkers.

[Vidar]

12. Seems Lieberman is heading for the repulican hell where he belongs.

[ClintonTyree]

17. If you call raking in millions of dollars "hell".

If "Joementum" should be defeated in the primary and again as an Independent in the mid-terms, he's assured of a lucrative position in the GOP hate machine. Being an unwavering toady for bush DOES have it's rewards, and you can be assured that "Joementum" will be handsomely rewarded for his allegiance to the GOP.
I hope he'll be happy with his blood money. I'm sure he will be, there doesn't seem to be an ounce of conscience among the entire stinking GOP lot.

[Vidar]

33. Monetatily, you're right. Iwas using the word in the moral sense.

[calico1]

15. Well, I guess Lamont did not

peak too soon as someone's been claiming.




I do think voter turnout will be good for Lamont. Lamont supporters are super motivated. I think its some Lieberman supporters who might just stay home. So much for the Big Dawg support and the endorsements.

[Tuttle]

18. I, for one, hope Bill will call Joe

and counsel him on how to withdraw entirely... for the good of the party

Tut-tut

[femrap]

32. Joe can become a lobbyist...

work for AIPAC, maybe or General Dynamics, a part of the war machine.

[chimpymustgo]

19. Ahead-Ned stomps Joe-mentum!!! Keep it up! Woohooooo!!

K and R. Now don't rest on your laurels...get out that VOTE!

[RDANGELO]

20. Prediction

If this holds up:

.The Democrats will take both houses of congress.
.Hillary will not be the Democratic nominee in 08.

This suggests a very strong anti war vote.

[Benhurst]

34. ...

[Nimrod2005]

36. Dios te escucha....

[rpannier]

21. so...when joementum goes under which Democrat

tells joementum it's over? "Big Dog"; Dodd; Biden; Schumer?

(Kind of like when Goldwater told Nixon he was finished)

[calico1]

22. All 3 probably.

He will strongly resist.

Its not over yet. While I do believe Lamont supporters are way more motivated we need to remember its not Tuesday yet. We have to go out and vote!

[Fly tyer]

24. Hey this well all turn around for Joe

as soon as he takes up Steven Cobert's offer,it's pretty hard to imagine Joe turning down a bowl of Cocoa Puffs eh?

[MurrayDelph]

54. Especially since they ARE Kosher?

I just checked.




(See the OU just to the left of the weight?)

[xchrom]

26. so i wonder what drivel will flow from liberman's lips

when he has to admit defeat in the primary and announce as an independant?

[gasperc]

27. fueled by deep pockets

give me a break, Lieberman is outspending Lamont 3-1

[Tuttle]

28. Exactly

Lieberman paints Lamont as "Greenwich millionaire" while Holy Joe is a "Stamford Millionaire" with Repuke backers!

Tut-tut

[ignu]

29. The Lieberman Campaign issues their response

[Jacobin]

37. Be still my heart.

Are we maybe coming to the day when congresscritters learn that starting bullshit wars for sport will get your ass tossed?

I can only hope and pray

[tabasco]

38. Thank you to the good People of Connecticut.

Throw his warmongering ass into the street.

We need politicians who will fight the corrupt republicans, not enablers.

[calico1]

39. Shhhhh....

Its not Wednesday yet. Let's not jinx this! I really think Lamont supporters are way more motivated but its not a done deal yet. I will be there bright an early on Tuesday!

[stepnw1f]

40. "likely Democrat voters"... It's Democratic not Democrat (nt)

[Neecy]

46. My favorite Kos photo of the day....

[kath]

50. Such a cute photo of the two lovebirds...

[calico1]

51. "Ooohhhhh...he's so dreamy!"

[gasperc]

53. Mither Prethident, your the bestest!!!!!!!!!!

oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Moloch]

55. LOL That reminds me of Nancy Reagan....

looking at her husband when he gave speeches.

[David__77]

49. May Lieberman be smashed to smithereens.

Let this serve as a serious warning to all those who wish to follow his disgraceful, immoral course. As pointed out above, a landslide defeat will impel him to withdraw entirely.

[saigon68]

57. He needs to go A CHICKEN HAWK FOR WAR

When I was getting shot at

He was dodging the Draft

Now he wants our kids to die for corrupt corporations
