Update 6:54 AM EST - Based on CNN tally, Lamont leads by 18,000 votes with only three locations to finish reporting, 2 are small, and the last is the State's largest Democratic Stronghold.

1. It was the first thing I checked just now when I woke up!

Man, I would have been embarrassed and depressed if we'd elected Stefanowski.

2. Wow.. didn't know Lamont was still in..

Saw one OP that said .. "why can't Lamont win anything since Liebermann?"

Come ON, Ned Lamont!

6. He's starting to pull away slowly now.

I think he's got it. Last big location left to report is state's biggest Democratic Stronghold.

7. YAY! We were all pulling

for him so badly in 2006!

11. Stefanowski just conceded.

12. Wonderful Connecticut!

3. Very good news

I noticed it was slowly tightening but didn't realize he went over the top.

I wish we could get more of these governorship races shifted to presidential years. They are so vital yet we minimize opportunity by holding them in midterms.

4. Stefanowski was up like 6% when I went to bed last night

though, I knew Lamont would close the gap due to Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport being mostly out and West Hartford being unreported (heavy D suburb that probably had more people voting than most of the cities)

5. I hope he finally wins

Poor guy needs to be somewhere! Hopefully the 3rd time will be the charm!

9. He won the Democratic primary for Senate

a few years back....eom

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Yeah but we saw what happened with that in the general and LIEberman

I.e., he "lost".

8. Wow, I was only looking a couple of hours ago as it seemed that he was gone. Great news.

13. Lamont won...his opponent conceded on morning radio...kind of weird that.
