I think Lieberman has a good chance of winning too. He won almost half of the Democrats who voted in the primary. Questions that will help determine if Lieberman wins. How many of the votes for him in the primary where just out of some feeling of loyalty to him, how much of that sense of loyalty will remain? (Probably not a lot will remain but maybe that wasn't the main source of his votes.) How many votes for him where due to endorsements from popular Democrats who no longer endorse him? (He'll lose those votes but I'm not sure that endorsements are a big swing factor). How many Democrats who voted will vote for partisanship over ideology? (If they are Democrats vs and their specific political opinions are 2nd, then they will vote for Lamont. If there specific politics are more like Lamont's they probably already voted for Lamont. If they are more like Lieberman's, than its a question of partisanship vs ideology). If Lieberman wins in November, the Democrats lose a seat. On Paper but he might cacus with the Democrats.
