HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 3 -- Democratic challenger Ned Lamont, riding strong opposition to the war in Iraq, has surged into the lead over Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) in Tuesday's Senate primary, according to a newly released Quinnipiac University poll.

Lamont leads Lieberman 54 percent to 41 percent in a poll and now has clear momentum over the three-term incumbent and former Democratic vice presidential nominee. The findings represent a clear setback for Lieberman, who has claimed this week that a July 24 visit by former President Bill Clinton had turned around his campaign.

1. Six months ago everyone was writing this off.

Nice to know the grassroots are not powerless. :)

2. not feeling the Joe-mentum?

"Lieberman, who has claimed this week that a July 24 visit by former President Bill Clinton had turned around his campaign."

Looks like another a 3-way tie for third place (or, as Jon Stewart put it more succintly--DEAD LAST!) :kick:
