Congratulations to Democrats in Connecticut -- a record turnout
for this primary.

All reports indicate a record turnout for the Democratic primary tonight.

That's a gleaming performance in citizenship.

Nice goin'.

1. Yep, great work to all the Connecticut Dems. Ya done us proud!
I wonder how many Lieberman voters are really Repubs. Hopefully, there will be some more analysis on this in the coming weeks.

2. It's very inspiring when record numbers of voters turn out to vote.
And of course, we're talkin' Democrats tonight!

4. I agree and it is August the biggest vacation month in the US.
The spin will be as dizzying as a tornado, but if the Chosen (that's what I consider many, not all, of the incumbents don't realize what's going on, then it will get even more fun!

They are so busy kissing up to special interests for money to finance their campaigns, that they forgot one vote for one citizen. The air has been fouled by the stench of the suffering inflicted on the citizens of our country by those who have been fatted for the slaughter (the haves and have mores).

And still those Connecticut Democrats showed up.

God love 'em.

3. Then Learn a Lesson
Trunout is everything.

So are you going to work for Democrats, or only if they run against Lieberman.

5. Turnout is literally the only gauge of any election, and it works like
this: the winner is the one with more votes than the loser.

Tonight Joe Lieberman, a 3-term high-profile celebrity Democrat, got his ass whipped by a successful business man.

Joe ran a crap campaign. Ned's fired on all cylinders. The ascent was for Ned on several issues and for several reasons, not only the Iraq conflict, although that alone would be reason to dump Joe, because Joe's obstinance scissored debate inside our party and within the public discourse nationally bout Bush's immoral and ill-conceived war.

8. Hey there, Catchawave. Virginia! You bet -- we'll all be sending you
extremely powerful vibes to dump George Cement-Head Allen.

Webb's a good man and Allen's essentially a brainless automaton.

I know you will do more than your share, and believe me, a hell of a lot of us will be rooting for ya.
