EARLY RETURNS SHOW A COMPLETE REJECTION OF BUSH AND HIS RUBBER STAMP LIEBERMAN

WTNH has the best up-to-the-minute results I've seen so far. At 3% of precincts counted Ned had 60% of the vote and somehow Lieberhound managed to trick 40% of the voters into casting their ballots for him. They must be Republicans who switched parties. And then at 7% the percentages for Ned and Lieberhound came back down to earth: Ned's at 56% and the Lieberhound is at 44%

Ned Lamont- 12,236

Lieberhound- 9,535


UPDATE: JANE SEZ

"It's a blowout." I called her in CT to find out which precincts were the early reporters. She didn't know but she told me every indicator the Lamont team is looking for is on-- including things like 80% turn-out in some of their target precincts. They had a tremendous GOTV operation. The Lieberhound lost his home precinct.


UPDATE: JANE WAS RIGHT

After Jane re-assured me it wouldn't be close, I went for dinner and when I got home I saw Ned had won by 4%. It's an amazing story of enlightened voters holding their elected representative to account for himself. Lieberman has had 18 years to show what he is-- and he has and tonight Connecticut Democrats found him severly wanting. I bet Al Wynn (D-MD) is shaking in his boots tonight. If he's not, he should be.
