Does anyone know the laws for Senate races where no candidate get 50%? Do they have a run-off, or just declare the top vote getter the winner? I see little chance Lamont can get 50% of the vote, though I think he will be the overall vote winner.

Lieberman will have to pull at least 20% of the total vote to give the GOP candidate a chance, assuming Lieberman doesn't draw GOP voters (which he probably will, since he is a better alternative to Lamont and actually has a chance of winning). CT is a 65%-35% Dem-GOP split.

I think Lieberman would rather see the Republican win than the Democrat.

Maybe Joe should have switched to Republican. :>
