Lieberman in Trouble. Defeat To Lamont Possible.

There is no question that Lieberman is in trouble. After the the surprising strength of the Lamont Campaign in Connecticut Democratic Party in the State convention, everything is possible.

Quote from the Connecticut Newspaper:

"The Lieberman people seemed dispirited all night. His demonstrators waved and rubbed together curious-looking wiener-shaped balloons advising "Stick With Joe" as they made their way through the aisles in a short, obligatory demonstration to the tune of "Still the One." They became animated only when "Soul Man" came over the sound system, providing a cover to stop chanting and start dancing.

By now, the Lieberman crowd was beaten, even with 65 percent of the vote. A curiosity in January, the Lamont campaign has become a growing army that could overthrow the incumbent in the Aug. 8 primary. For 90 minutes, party loyalists who have known Joe Lieberman for decades rose and turned their backs on him in favor of an engaging stranger."

Lamont appears to be gaining the momentum now. This will lead to more national and state exposure, and votes.

Lieberman's best bet may be to pull out of the democratic party now and announce that he will run as an independent. If he does this after he is defeated in the democratic primary, it will be too late for him. If he does that now, he would probably be assured all republican votes and may have a chance. Lets not forget that there are at least 2-3 republican candidates that will enter the race,
