Schlesinger will be Lamonts best friend on Tuesday.

Don't know about you, but I've pretty much been a straight Dem voter my whole life. Even in local politics.

AND I'm pretty sure those on the other side of the coin, the repubs vote the same way.

So tomorrow, the repubs who vote straight party ticket, will most likely vote---straight party ticket. There will be enough of them to blunt the ones who vote for Joe. Also... it's very likely that most will stay home....

Liebs going down hard tomorrow.

1. I agree with this 100%. Dem's are going to vote Lamont. Period.

I think that actual booth support for Lieberman will be much smaller than the polling reflects.

I haven't seen the data, so obviously my guesswork is just that, but I cant imagine 50% of CT Dem's voting for a war monger when it matters most.

3. I'm not voting for either one. I'm voting for the 1 who will beat out the

candidate who will clearly vote for Privatization and will certainly vote for any anti-choice judges that come along. Voting for someone who may lose is not in my best interest.

2. Either it results in a split Democrat vote or a split Republican vote.

Last time I checked polls Lieberman was going to win and most Republicans were going to vote for him instead of Schles. Because they don't want to split their vote. But who knows maybe they will all vote for Schles. It may come down to which party has the least split votes.

4. It doesn't work that way.

And repubs are overwhelmingly supporting Lieberman in CT. Just because you've always voted straight party ticket, don't assume that's true for the majority. It's not. Hell, I vote for Jim Jeffords for the House and the Senate.

5. I disagree

I think it will have a huge effect and we can't forget the stay at home effect.

6. Liberman

will split the dem vote, garner a good percentage of Rep votes, cruise to an easy win. IMO, most of the voters of CT lack the "fever" of the posters on this board. Being anti Bush and Anti war is not the way to win in CT.
