Lieberman Gets Closer To Lamont
New Quinnipiac poll: Lamont 51% - Lieberman 46%
Hotline on Call says there is conflicting information on whether Lieberman has collected enough signatures to run as an independent if he loses the Democratic primary to Lamont . Hotline on Call also says unless the election is "tantalizingly close," Lieberman is less likely to run as an independent than he once was.
So here we come, down the stretch. Considering a poll showed Lamont ahead by 13 last week, if Lamont wins the primary tomorrow by 6 points, will that be spun as a victory for Lamont and the anti-war wing of the party or as a sign of resilience for Lieberman and Bush?
Just wondering. Remember, it's never about the actual facts - it's always about the spin.

If Lamont wins by any margin, it is a victory for the netroots. But even if he does, his opponents and the "incumbent-acracy" will have to come up with some talking points to try and take away some of the power of their defeat.
You sure covered all your political angles with your de facto two party system.
