JOEMENTUM....?
52-48 Where have I heard that spread before.....?
Allahpundit is liveblogging it over at Hot Air, with a surprisingly low Karate Kid reference level.
As of 10:08, it's 52-48 with 80% of precincts in. I wonder which towns are still out.
UPDATE: Built in excuse generator----DIEBOLD! OHIO! ROVE! AGGH! Imagine that, pre-voted voting machines in New Haven.
UPDATE: If this parameter holds, the general election should prove to be interesting. 52-48--8K votes as of right now---means Joe can run against the nutroots and win with the independents and what passes for Republican in CT (sorry Gary). 56-44, that was Senior Distinguished Lecturer in American Politics at Eastern in Willimantic time.
UPDATE: Here's WTNH (the New Haven ABC tee-vee affiliate) webmaster with an interesting take on the hacking of Joltin' Joe's website.
UPDATE: Did Ned lose the big lead not because of the country club issue but because he went "More Mumia Than Thou"? Colin McEnroe's hilarious blog asks this and other great questions about the race.
UPDATE Here's the Tradesports contract for the independent winning the CT Senate race:
(Time on the charts is for Greenwich Mean Time)(Note to LearJet Lamont supporters: the other Greenwich, where Zulu means something other than knee-jerk support for Philly cop-killing radicals).
Here's the chart for the Democrat Nominee to win:
Here's your poke, sir.
Hillary! ?
No real impact. I guess in this evil bearded Spock parallel universe we inhabit the Loyalists beat the fascists after all...
UPDATE: You can almost hear the ER "flat line beep" for this chart:
UPDATE: Lieberman concedes, 10K vote margin, 4%. Lieberman lives to fight another day; Nutroots come under the crosshairs of Richard Bluementhal and the CT AG's office for hacking; McKinney toast.
Sounds like a three-fer for me.

Posted by: LB Buddy at August 9, 2006 09:24 AMWe'll see about that...Don't confuse the echo chamber for reality.
Posted by: Steve the LLamabutcher at August 9, 2006 12:14 PMI am talking about national opinions on the war.
For example.
Or this.
Perhaps this.
And national opinions on our president.
Support of the war and of the president killed Joe. I believe the independent bid will fail too.
I think the echo chamber on this is how much of this was caused by the netroots. Sure the bloggers had an influence, but Liberman has lost touch with his constituents and all the righty pundits rising to defend poor Joe is completely indicative of his problem. He is Republican-light in a blue state. The Dems in his state have decided they have had enough and went for Lamont. It is comical to read him being described as part of the loony lefty. That would be me, and his politics don't look nuthin like mine...
