So the latest Quinnipiac University poll<\/a> is out in Connecticut.<\/p>\n

And I’m shocked, simply shocked at the results.<\/p>\n

Among Democrats, Ned Lamont is spanking Joe Lieberman 63 to 35. A huge margin.<\/p>\n

A huge margin in a small subset of the voting population, that is..<\/p>\n

Independent voters overwhelmingly support Lieberman and Republican voters are abandoning their candidate for Lieberman.<\/p>\n

The telling result is the favorable\/unfavorable numbers – 46% fav \/ 30% unfav among likely voters for Lieberman and 25% fav\/ 30% unfav for Lamont.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself this, if you’re all excited at the notion of Lieberman running against Lamont as an independent. Who do you think is going to be sitting in the Dirksen Building in February of \u201907? Lamont? In a state that was \u2014 in 2004 \u2014 44 percent unaffiliated, 34 percent Democratic, and 22 percent Republican. Come Election Day, what exactly do you think is going to happen?<\/p>\n

And when they show that they aren’t, what exactly will happen then?<\/p>\n

And let’s note a telling statistic as well – among likely voters, 53% think he deserves reelection, and 40% think that he deserves the boot. Among the 40%, 24% oppose him because of his stance on the war.<\/p>\n

That’s 10%. The antiwar vote…over to you, Markos. Ms Hamsher, any comment?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
