HARTFORD, Conn. -- Ned Lamont, whose anti-war campaign rattled the political landscape by toppling Sen. Joe Lieberman last week in Connecticut's Democratic primary, is gaining support in November's three-way Senate race according to a poll released Thursday...

Lieberman leads Lamont among registered voters 49 percent to 38 percent. Republican Alan Schlesinger gets support from 4 percent.

Thats an improvement for Lamont, who tralied Lieberman 51 percent to 27 percent in a three way race in a July 20 Quinnipiac poll...

Corliss is Ned's uncle, but otherwise, your post is spot on!

There's absolutely NO difference between Hillary and LIEberman; NONE!

I heard on the Sean Hannity show today that Democrats are really steaming mad now at lieberman for going Independent.

I heard Lamont had angered the moonbat wing of the party because he was trying to distance himself from them to have a wider voter appeal.

But I'm gonna hold off and wait for another poll to hopefully back up those numbers.

Lieberman will poll well all fall and win in November ... you can take that to the bank. 'Rats are dismayed ...

Driving in the Connecticut "gold coast" area, I saw the first bumper-sticker for Ned Lamont last week.

Does that count?

There are still Kerry /Edwards stickers on cars there. What delusionary misguided citizens!

BHAHAHAHA Sore Lamenter!

Looks like a younger Lieberman to me!

Nancy Johnson is an elderly leftist alumna (like Mrs. Arkansas Antichrist) of Wellesley. She is a "Republican" simply because being a Democrat just wasn't done in her social circles. She is an unabashed social revolutionary. Her husband, Dr. Ted Johnson, was for decades the primary abortionist in New Britain. She resented the end of welfare as we knew it and has no business being a Republican candidate for anything, much less a member of the Ways and Means Committee or a candidate for Senate. She makes Chris Shays look like a Bircher.

Wait til Lieberman plays his best card--but he needs to hold it until the fall.

Yikes! I knew she was bad but had no idea. Truly frightening.
