With the polls closed and nearly three-quarters of the precincts reporting, cable executive Ned Lamont led Sen. Joseph Lieberman in the Democratic primary for the Connecticut Senate nomination. With 74 percent of the precincts reporting, Lamont led Lieberman 52 percent to 48 percent, according to The Associated Press. Lieberman, who was former Vice President Al Gore's running mate in 2000, is seeking the Democratic nod for a fourth Senate term. Lamont, a former Greenwich city councilman, is running his first statewide campaign.

HARTFORD, Conn. - Sen. Joe Lieberman, crippled by his support for the Iraq war, lost the Democratic nomination for a fourth term Tuesday to a political newcomer who portrayed him as an apologist for the Bush administration. Lieberman vowed to run as an independent in November

Ummm...even if Lieberman looses I don't think we've heard the last of him.

Quote:

Lieberman has threatened to run as an independent in November's election if he fails to claim the party's nomination, further enraging party activists and many Web commentators, who have boosted Lamont.

Yep, I've heard this. But if he loses, the Dem leadership is going be all over him. It would be the most assinine thing he could possibly do (besides voting for the war and still supporting it). I'm not holding out hope that he'll actually wisen up and bid a proper farewell, but we'll see. Regardless...I love see seeing the "shift" starting to take place and I'll still keep my fingers crossed.

Apparently he can't decide which party he wants to be in. Wasn't he originally a republican, then switched to democrat and now he wants to be an independant and only because he has no where else to go.

not really worried about it, though he did it to himself
