So... We finally have a poll showing Lamont out in front in a two way race with Lieberman, and the primary is just two short weeks away. But in a three way race - a scenario that might come about should Lieberman lose the primary and run as an independent - Lieberman seems to win it in a walk. I can't argue with the numbers, but.... I do have to wonder...

If Lieberman actually loses the primary in two weeks, will his support remain so strong? Americans don't like losers. And the only thing they like less than a loser is a sore loser. Right now the idea of Lieberman running is simply a hypothetical. But should he lose, his bid as an independent will inevitably and immediately be framed as a direct result of his loss. Rather than running from a position of power, he'll be running from one of weakness and defeat. Will his current "supporters" stick with him? If either of his opponents has half a clue how to run a campaign, I suspect they won't. Stay tuned...
