U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman marches with his wife, Hadassah, Monday Sept. 4, 2006, in the Newtown, Conn. Labor Day parade. Lieberman, the party’s vice presidential candidate six years ago, marched several blocks behind his former allies in Monday’s parade in Newtown, one of the state’s biggest traditional campaign season kickoff events.

Political Wire: In Connecticut, Poll Finds Lamont Way Behind

A new Public Opinion Strategies (R) poll finds Ned Lamont (D) trailing Sen. Joe Lieberman (I), 51% to 35%, in the Connecticut U.S. Senate race. Republican Alan Schlesinger receives 4% of the vote, while 10% remain undecided.

Key finding: When asked which candidate is running a negative campaign, 40% say Lamont compared to 19% for Lieberman.

Looks like Joementum has taken hold in Connecticut.

Is this why Senate Democrats are being NICE?

Weeks after Lieberman lost the Democratic primary — and defied his party with an independent bid — the three-term Connecticut senator was greeted warmly Wednesday as he attended his party’s weekly luncheon and participated in Senate business.

Democrats gave Lieberman an ovation as Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., introduced him at the lunch and welcomed him back. Republican Sen. Susan Collins (news, bio, voting record) of Maine shared a hug with Lieberman on the Senate floor.

Looks like Kos and the NETNUTTERS are going to take yet another loss.
