| Leiberman Losses Primary |
ETWolverine |
08/09/06 |
Joe Lieberman has lost the Democratic primary in CT. He ha vowed to un as an independant, as according to AP, he has already filed to run as an independant in the November election. The final returns from yesterday's primary shows Lamont beating Lieberman 52%-48%.
My questions:
1) Does a 52%-48% defeat of Lieberman count as a "referendum on the war in Iraq"? Even among Democrats (Republicans didn't vote in the Lieberman v. Lamont primary)?
2) Does the fact that Leiberman was able to come back from a 13-point deficit (in Gallup polls) in the past week mean anything?
3) Will Republican Alan Schlessinger be a factor in the race? He has been trailing both Lieberman and Lamont in the polls.
4) Is there a chance that Schlessinger will win because of a split-vote between Lamont and Lieberman?
5) Running as an Independant, does Lieberman have a shot at keeping his seat in the Senate? Can he garner enough Republican votes to beat Lamont's Democrat majority?
