One Reason
I've seen a lot of "Conventional Wisdom" in the past couple of days that pretty much says Lieberman will lose the primary. I wrote a while back that I personally would not count an old pro like Lieberman out too easily or too quickly. And the most recent poll shows Lieberman gaining a bit on Lamont. Funny how that works, isn't it? That's one reason I never count out a candidate too soon. Things can turn around very quickly.
HARTFORD, Conn. — U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, fighting for his political survival, appears to be cutting into challenger Ned Lamont's lead the day before Connecticut's Democratic primary election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday.
The poll shows Lamont, a wealthy Greenwich businessman, leading Lieberman 51 percent to 45 percent among likely Democratic voters heading into Tuesday's primary.
So much for the much crowed about double digit lead. I am not at all a big fan of polls and polling in general, as any long-term reader knows. My personal advice to anyone who is contacted for a poll is to lie to the pollster, on general principles. Polls like this one, even if really well constructed are usually highly suspect, especially in a primary. We'll know by tomorrow night, won't we?
