Recent polls in the Lamont/ Lieberman race?

[senseandsensibility]

Haven't been able to find any. But I just finished watching the debate live, and Joementum sure seems skeert.:rofl: Are the polls showing him losing to this "upstart?":sarcasm: God, I hope so. Lamont was refreshing, sincere, and, for a political novice, polished.:toast: Good job, Mr. Lamont!

1. I was pleasantly surprised by Lamont's performance. Joe came off

as a tired, cynical pro. Ned was fresh and on fire.

2. Is Joe acting so defensive because polls

are showing him losing? I admit that I haven't followed this race much until tonight.

3. One poll showed Lieberman up 46-40 or so... I think it was Rasmussen.

Others show a slightly wider lead for Lieberman, but the point is that Lamont wasn't even on the radar a few months ago. He is surging now and Lieberman's own internal polls must surely have told him that he was very vulnerable to Lamont in the August 8 primary.

Now that the debate is done, the next poll will be very telling.

5. Yes, indeed.

I was very impressed by Lamont, and I'm sure most of the Democratic viewers were too. It was a great showing.

10. And from the on-line polls MSNBC and at least one local CT station

are running, Lamont is winning big there, by numbers like 79 - 19 % over Joe.

So it's not just our enthusiasm here on DU in those votes. They must be coming in from all over the country.

9. Good points, OC.

You changed your avatar- what is that?!

[saltpoint]

11. Hi, Olney Blue. Nice to bump into you tonight.

The new avatar is a hurricane flag.

It's hurricane season and I've always been drawn by sea storms.

Although it's fallen out of official use, many ports still use a double-flag of a black square inside the scarlet rectangle, one atop the other, to alert all ships of approaching cyclones.

13. one flag = full gale warning; two flags = hurricane warning

(I get a little salty when I see these flags and pennants.) :silly:

I used to think "One pennant? Whoopee!" and "One flag? Uh-oh!" :dunce:







:evilgrin:

[saltpoint]

16. Hey TahitiNut. Howdy. Yep. If it's a double flag, it's time to

assume Bush and Heckuvajob Brownie won't be around to bail anybody out.

The Blue Peter leads my favorites for nautical signals. But I opted this time for the red-n-black.

As Jimmy Buffett puts it, "You just can't reason with the hurricane season."

roughly 80% for Lamont in both / both unscientific of course :)

6. You had me going there for a moment!

I already voted in the second one, so I'll hit the first one now.

7. good

[tridim]

8. But probably fairly similar to the typical primary voter

Unless of course Diebold initiates the Joementum subroutine.

12. Sure hope Boxer doesn't stump for Joe. I called and asked her not to

[senseandsensibility]

14. Boxer is my senator too.

I better make that call as well.

[kaygore]

15. Do call as I think that she will listen if enough of her constituents call

At least that is what the rumor is in the blogsphere!
