Who are they going to blame if it's too close to call?

I've said all along, the polls showing him behind were media manipulations to get him to drop out..now that push comes to shove, things are being looked at relatively honestly (considering the MSM)..Joe has a better than 50/50 chance methinks..

I'm rooting for Lamont because a win for him will hurt the RAT party (espcially if Loserman runs in the GE as an Indy and beats Lamont there).

Here's my rule. IF Lieberman wins this race, than I will never, not ever again, believe any poll put out by the Lamestream.

Now I know y'all might yowl and tell me I should have already known that.

Well, yeah.

Except mine ears have followed this race closely and from the very start I have heard nothing but how Joe is twenty some points behind, yada, yada. By me I thought it a bit far-fetched.

First, no one's heard of this Lamont guy...he sure sprung out of nowhere, eh? Second, Lieberman's been Conn.'s Senator for how long? And he was the Dem nominee for VP in 2000.

While I suppose those weary of the Iraq war might change their mind for their choice of Senator, I just could not believe there was such a gap.

So I've been keeping track of all the bloviating blow-dried pundits and the stupid stuff they say. Chris Matthews is salivating over this race now that his precious Wilson/Plame came down to nothing.

THIS race will be my definitive lesson learned should Lieberman win or lose by a hair.

The Wednesday, August 9, 2006 of the Connecticut Courier dropped into my lap from a time/space wormhole just now.

The banner headline: LIEBERMAN WINS NARROW VICTORY: MOONBATS CRUSHED

Looks like Wednesday is going to be a good day...

Same here, a narrow win by Lamont would be nice.


And lets hope for a McKinney win Georgia

He cut Lamont's lead in half over a weekend? Maybe he will pull it out after all.

Same here.
The more the loony left Kossacks and DUMMIES take over the RATS Party, the more the RATS Party alienate mainstream America, and the better it is for the Republican Party.

Hope they're not using Diebold voting machines. Democrats aren't even offered as options on those things from what I've heard....

Does anybody really believe that this many people changed their minds in just the last few days?

This is a standard trick by the polls - use your data to have an effect the outcome, then close it up near the end to cover your bets and preserve your polling reputation for rounding up clients for the next election cycle.

Yeah, if he's 6 points behind today, he'll be 3 points behind tomorrow. I hope he wins, but I don't think he will.

Hope he wins in November as an independent.
