1. How did Lamont's lead go from 14 last week, to 6 yesterday, to 3 today?

Anyone? WTH?

[Guaranteed]

2. I suspect shenanigans.

The 12 point swing when 15% of the vote was already in was...odd...

But I'll take the win, and not complain.

[Renew Deal]

3. Those were polls. This is reality

:shrug:

4. Clinton campaigning for Joementum may have helped him.

[Mr_Spock]

7. You get the prize for a reasonable guess.

I wonder why so many cannot be happy with a win in a primary against a 3 term incumbant?

This place is like the twilight zone at times.

5. media electioneering

Close elections get better viewership, so they engineer it to be close as possible, which also makes election fraud easy.

6. I'd say, incumbent advantage.

Not knowing much about voting trends and such, that is.

8. Polls don't always match the outcome of the election

They hardly ever do.

9. Republicans voting in Democratic Primary voting for Joe

It happens. All the time.
