Lamont down by 10 pts. to Traitor Joe Lieberman, because cowardly DC Dems. leave Ned twisting in the wind. Lieberman is Rusmfeld's BIGGEST ENABLER...
JOE LIEBERMAN, the man who couldn't find one thing to criticize Secretary of War (and Inept invasions) DON RUMSFELD for, is LEADING NED LAMONT by TEN POINTS, because the DC Democrats have LEFT LAMONT TWISTING IN THE WIND.
The dynamic here is plenty simple. Those who were "liberal" in the '60s, 70's, and even 80's now have mortgages, children in college, and appreciating portfolios from a lifetime of saving and increasing property values. And for so many of these voters, "INDEPENDENT" is a magical word that implies a certain dignity, a certain above-the-fray detachment and objectivity. And, because the anti-Democrat media bias is so pervasive, these independent voters can say "A POX ON BOTH HOUSES!" and feel like they are making a superior, or enlightened, choice in voting "independent."
EXCEPT THAT IN VOTING FOR JOE LIEBERMAN, they will be voting for a HARD-RIGHT-WING Republican agenda.

U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., presents his new 10 point plan for Iraq to supporters at VFW Post 5095 in East Hampton, Conn., Monday, Sept. 25, 2006. Lieberman was critical of his Democratic challenger, Ned Lamont's, strategy on Iraq, saying that to set a timeline to leave that country could leave the U.S. more vulnerable to terrorism.

HAMDEN, Conn. - Sen. Joe Lieberman has a 10-point advantage over Democrat Ned Lamont among likely Connecticut voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
Lieberman, a three-term Democrat running as an independent after losing the party nomination in a primary, is favored by 49 percent to 39 percent over Lamont in the three-way race. Republican Alan Schlesinger trails with 5 percent.
The race has tightened slightly since an Aug. 17 poll that showed Lieberman leading 53 percent to 41 percent.
"Ned Lamont has lost momentum," said poll director Douglas Schwartz said. "He's gained only two points in six weeks. He's going to have to do something different in the next six weeks or ... Lieberman stays in for another six years."
The race is seen as many as a referendum on President Bush's handling of the Iraq war. Lamont, a political newcomer and multimillionaire, ran on an anti-war platform to upset Lieberman in the Aug. 8 primary.
Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000, is a staunch supporter of the war.
The Quinnipiac poll showed that Lieberman has higher favorability ratings among likely voters, 51 percent to Lamont's 31 percent. While Lamont has slightly higher favorability numbers among Democrats (47 percent to 43 percent), Lieberman far outdistances his challenger among likely Republican and unaffiliated voters. Seventy percent of Republicans view Lieberman favorably compared to 12 percent for Lamont, and 48 percent of independent voters view Lieberman favorably compared to 30 percent for Lamont.
Unaffiliated voters outnumber Democrats and Republicans in the state.
"Lamont wins among those who say Iraq is the most important issue to their vote, but that is only 35 percent of the electorate," Schwartz said. "Lieberman wins on all the other issues voters say matter most to them, including terrorism and the economy."
The telephone poll was conducted between Sept. 21-25. Quinnipiac surveyed 1,181 likely voters and the poll has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
