This poll is still on Rasmussen's premium section, but got leaked onto the blogosphere. Topline numbers:
Lieberman (I-Inc.) 45%
Lamont (D) 43%
Schlesinger (R) 5%
550 Likely Connecticut Voters
+/- 4.5% MOE
Lieberman wins this by 10 points
Because Leiberman's sincere, and Hillary is not on the war?
And no matter what you naively imagine, having one of only TWO national parties taking our national security seriously is dangerous.
This has been explained many times to many different people. It's hard to imagine how you or anyone could at this point be unaware of why we're impassioned in his defense if you've spent anytime at all on this board.
RCP's analysis of pollster accuracy in 2004 is a good one. Slate also had a decent article about the topic.
Regardless, Rasmussen, Survey USA, and Mason-Dixon all did well in 2004.
"The reason to vote for Lieberman is to keep Ned the Red Lamont out of the Senate. Lamont is a hard leftist."
Not good enough to vote for a liberal. That really is like saying "we need to vote for Hillary Clinton to stop moveon.org backed candidate Russ Feingold from winning the whitehouse." No thanks.
I don't live in Connecticut, so it's not like I matter in this race. But if I did, it would be a cold day in hell before I'd ever, ever vote for either Lieberman or Lamont.
Here here. total agreement.
Until I hear otherwise, anyone other than a Republican (even a dish-water Republican) is going to take away our free speech rights, gun ownership rights, voting rights, etc.
Looserman=not a Republican.
Hillary=not a Republican.
So I can't get worked up about either one of them. He's an odd cross for the Republicans to take up. Isn't he running against a Republican out there somewhere? And if not, Looserman is the best choice? Shame on Republicans if they can't back their own candidate with as much moxie as they're backing him.
Sorry.
LIebrman is not a leftist. He has voted more on the side of the Presidents agenda, than some Republicans have.
Lamont is a COMMIE and so was his Family, who funded the ACLU and supported the american communist party.

Lieberman is better ideologically, and more honorable, than Hillary. Lamont is probably worse than Feingold. Whatever Republican Hillary runs against will have at least a chance of winning the White House. Schlesinger, the GOP candidate in CT, has no chance of winning the Senate seat.
So your analogy is krap.
I'm glad you don't live in CT or "matter in this race."

Lieberman believes in fighting the war on terror. That's important.
Yeah, because McCain, a republican House and senate, a Republican administration, and a court stacked with Republican appointees didn't sign onto CFR.
Give me a break.
What you just recited is damn partisanship. It hasn't an ounce of truth with your denial of Republican complicity in some of the above. A Republican from the Northeast has and will do everything you cite, which is why I generally prefer they lose. The fact you would prefer a Liberal Republican vs a Liberal Democrat screams an adoration of labels but not much else. Especially considering the likely Republican would NEVER take up the cross of the WOT which includes Iraq as Leiberman has.
The end result is that I'm not enamored of party labels but am enamored of survival and leibrman's the only one preaching it up there. With sincerity. for that he has my support and the support of all conservatives/Republicans except the 5% that take your ridiculous position.
Follow the money they say. Zogby takes a paycheck from the P.A from what I hear.
Lieberman been sleeping with the wacked out lefties . I could care less what happens to him
In fact I hope the GOP keeps congress with some increases and Lieberman loses
If you live in California like your screen name implys, then I'm glad you're irrelevent in this race also. The last thing the republican party needs are more people willing to sell out their principles for "the lesser of two evils."
The election of Lamont would tend to clarify things. I appreciate Lieberman's support for the WOT, but things need to come to a head before we decide if we are in the long term fight or if we are just going to appease our enemies.
Yes, this poll must be weekend
I fart in your general direction.
