I've responded to this same meme at least half a dozen times today. So many on DU want to say CT republicans somehow influenced the election by switching parties at the last minute.
It didn't happen.
Republicans had to switch party affiliations four months ago in order to vote in the democratic primary. Four months ago Lieberman was 20 point ahead of Lamont, and only the most pessimistic (or prescient) Republican could have foreseen Ned's final surge.
Indi's and new voters had until Monday at noon to register democrat. But not republicans. They had to switch parties by May 10th.
People...forget the repubicans. Savor this victory. We did it ourselves!
