So What Is The Deal With LIEberman?
I suppose for many reasons, that's been quiet (Lamont/LIEberman race) I heard that fido (LIEberman) is ahead.
How can this be? What are the chances of Lamont winning now? What does he have to do? Is there any hope, or do the polls lie?

1. Lieberman is ahead because there more Republicans and independents in CT
than there are Democrats. Lieberman has convinced most Republicans and enough independents to support him. CT does have a history of supporting independent candidates.

4. Actually, you paint that just a bit rosy.....
Lieberman lost the primary by less than 2 points....by doing his "independent" run he kept a lot of democratic support-then after holding some democratic support,you add republican support (remember-you can not even remember the republican's name-the national party NEVER supported him and he will not receive even 10%) and add some independents and "PRESTO" a guy who pissed on both democracy and the Democratic party is re-elected....There are certain Connecticut Democrats I'd like to shake by the neck....

2. polls may get distorted but the people who make a living being right
have the odds for him to win. https://www.bodog.com/sports-betting/political-props.jsp

When I bet him to win as an independent it was well before and I got odds against him winning.

Everything I have seen have it about 1 - 2 on him winning.
