1. No Nauseous Option?

How about suspicious?

[MnFats]

2. how about screaming 'dump this weasel, you fools!'

you will dump lieberman, won't you"?

[greeneyedboy]

3. ask me how i feel on Nov. 8. 'til then, ask me what i'm doing about it.

and the answer is: donating, recruiting other friends to volunteer, etc.

4. Lamont lost in in August when he let up, big time

After winning the primary, Lamont went on vacation in Maine. He did not put lots of money into ads until very recently. Lamont should have put Lieberman away with effective ads in August but failed to do so. Now it may take a miracle for Lamont to win.

7. Care to make a wager on that?

B-)

[Poppyseedman]

9. I'm in

How much you got to wager?

Unless joe kicks the bucket, then all bets are off.

BTW, I have a personal policy of never losing a bet. I only wager on bets I can't lose.

I'll take all the money you are willing to give me.

[fooj]

36. A personal policy of "never losing a bet"?

Yikes. :hide:

[Poppyseedman]

38. Please don't misunderstand. I'm not the mob.

There are bets and sure bets.

A sure bet is something like: nobody makes it off this ball of dirt alive and Lieberman wins over Lamont.

In my book it's about the same odds.

[Awsi Dooger]

39. You missed the bargain rate

I bet heavily on Lieberman immediately after the primary. Bodog.com put it up at pick-em, which was incredible ignorance. I bet it many times and also at -135 (ratio of 135 to win 100). I posted the link many places including on DU, if I'm not mistaken. The odds climbed above -200 then some genius bet it down to -130 a few weeks ago so I dove in for more. Now the odds have soared and I could guarantee a profit regardless of the result by betting on Lamont, but I think I'll just keep what I have.

Understand I'm rooting for Lamont but I'll seize the advantage situation no matter what it is. I'm still kicking myself for not giving -150 odds on Arnold a few months ago. I got greedy and waited for something better but everyone else had the same idea I did, and the odds skyrocketed.

[fooj]

41. No worries. I was joking.

:hi:

I've won a few bucks, as well.

[Smarmie Doofus]

5. Any comment from Lieberschnitzel re. the 600,000 dead? n/t

[fooj]

6. The polls are bullshit. That's how I feel.

The union PULLED their support for Lieberman and threw it Lamont's way. Joe has been stepping on his tongue at every turn. I don't believe the polls for a minute.

[BootinUp]

8. Are you usually right?

O8)

[fooj]

37. Unless I'm wrong...

B-)

[pnorman]

10. I feel "very Angry" too,

but I'm not a voter in that state, so I'll leave it up those voters. Will I be rooting for Lamont anyhow? Of course, but you knew that already!

16. Republicans will vote for Lieberman

and he will win....no need for anger. Its not the dems doing it.

[olshak]

11. What bothers me...

...is that if the Senate is an even split or close, the Republicans will pull out all the stops to recruit him, and I wouldn't be surprised for him to caucus with them.

[Smarmie Doofus]

15. Can't *possibly* happen: Lieberman *pledged*....

... during the primary campaign, that if elected as an indy he would *remain* a dem and would *caucus* with the dems.

Don't you believe him?

[Art_from_Ark]

29. I don't believe him

After all, he'd be in the Senate for another 6 years, and the way he's been siding with the Repubs on matters like the bullshit war, and he has refused to acknowledge the choice of the Democratic voters of Connecticut and went and formed his own, single-candidate, single-election party,

[Smarmie Doofus]

30. Neither do I. n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

31. If he wants to make an indipendent run for president, he won't do that

Although frankly Joe caucusing with the GOP would be better than an indi run for POTUS.

[Dem_4_Life]

12. I am angry...

I am not a voter in that state but hope the rest of the state will come to their senses. It is way past his time to leave.

[BlueManDude]

13. Liebs won it the night he lost the primary. n/t

[newsguyatl]

14. surprised CT voters are that stupid

[DaveinMD]

17. the gap is closing

Its only 8 points according to a poll I saw today. Not a done deal by any means.

[Cronquist]

18. Unfortunately I disagree.

With such a small state, there has to be massive media saturation. I just don't see a shift in voter opinion happening.

[bigwillq]

20. Small?

It land mass but CT has just has many people lving in it then Oklahoma does.

I don't see your point.

[DaveinMD]

22. Lamont

just put another 8 million in the race. The Crosstabs show Lamont only with a small lead among Dems and down 8 among independents. If he can move the needs with Dems, he can win.

[truthisfreedom]

19. i'm not thinking about that right now. i'm too happy about the faith book

coming out on Monday and the fact that Foley is still in the news after the NK "bomb" test.

[JerseygirlCT]

21. Thought I'd just heard 48/40 today

That's a bit of a variance between them...

[niallmac]

23. Is it that the Conn Repubs are voting for Joe too? n/t

[B Calm]

24. The difference between myself and a republican, I could never

vote for a candidate that wasn't a member of my political party.

[onenote]

25. disappointed

[Guaranteed]

26. Lieberclown isn't a Democrat anymore. I'm very happy with that. nt

[MzNov]

27. more determined than ever to get JoeBlow out of office nt

[Mr_Spock]

28. I HATE LIEberman

I fucking hate that damned traitor.

[longship]

32. Lieberman is what's worse about politics.

This race is closer than polls are indicating (terrible internals!!! however, Ned had better get his shit together or he's going to lose.

[windbreeze]

33. IF the Conn. voters do NOT

put Lieberman out....they AND we, will live to regret it...end of story...

[garybeck]

34. do you trust polls?

just wondering.

[Selatius]

40. Would you have asked the question if Lamont was ahead?

I trust the polls comparatively more than I trust the election results, especially where electronic voting is concerned.

[Grebrook]

35. I honestly don't care as long as he caucuses with the Dems, not

very important. Winning the senate is important.
