Lamont takes lead in CT among Indepdents

American Research Group

two point race now, and they didn't even ask about the GOP candidate

If they did, i think Lamont would be ahead

To understand why this is important, and why Democrats take this so seriously, read:

Daily Kos: 128 reasons not to vote for Joe Lieberman (updated with working links)

To see a small sampling of the reasons, and I think the Indy vote going in Lamonts favor points to his win which would send shockwaves more than any other race in 06
