It Ain’t Lookin’ Good… (UPDATED)

…for “Joementum,” that is.
Here are the early results as of 9:44 pm EDT, via The Drudge Report:
Connecticut // U.S. Senate – - Dem Primary
423 of 748 Precincts Reporting – 56.55%
Lamont, Ned 79,580 52.17%
Lieberman, Joe (i) 72,964 47.83%
At this hour, it’s not looking like incumbent Senator Joe Lieberman is going to pull a victory. The Kos crowd will claim victory–even after trying to distance themselves from Ned Lamont earlier today. The Dems are definitely tracking anti-Bush and anti-war. The only question is will that platform be enough to help the Dems retain that seat?
At this point, probably not.
It’ll be interesting to see where this goes tonight.
**UPDATE** (11:05pm EDT)
With 95% of the precincts reporting, challenger Ned Lamont appears to have beaten Senator Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Democrat Primary.
Connecticut // U.S. Senate – - Dem Primary
713 of 748 Precincts Reporting – 95.32%
Lamont, Ned 138,836 51.92% **Winner
Lieberman, Joe (i) 128,566 48.08%
Lamont will be the candidate for that Senate seat, but that’s not necessarily good news for the Dems. If Lieberman runs as an Independent, that will definitely skew the vote against the Democrats.
The vote may be in but this one is just getting interesting, folks.
