Lieberman Killing LaMont

Proof positive that even a supposedly "blue" state such as Connecticut won't vote for the radical fringe of the Democratic party. Basically, given a third alternative, voters will ditch both Republicans and Democrats in favor of somebody who actually has a brain and common sense.

HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) - Sen. Joe Lieberman has a 10-point advantage over Democrat Ned Lamont among likely Connecticut voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

Lieberman, a three-term Democrat running as an independent after losing the party nomination in a primary, is favored by 49 percent to 39 percent over Lamont in the three-way race. Republican Alan Schlesinger trails with 5 percent.

The race has tightened slightly since an Aug. 17 poll that showed Lieberman leading 53 percent to 41 percent.

"Ned Lamont has lost momentum," said poll director Douglas Schwartz said. "He's gained only two points in six weeks. He's going to have to do something different in the next six weeks or ... Lieberman stays in for another six years."

I think in general that might apply nation wide for dems. What do you think?
