Looking good
While things are not for sure now, latest numbers here at the hotel 80% in Lamont 117000 Lieberman 103000
U.S. Senate - - Dem Primary 484 of 748 Precincts Reporting - 64.71% Name Party Votes Pct Lamont, Ned Dem 89,814 51.60 Lieberman, Joe (i) Dem 84,231 48.40
If 220k votes are 80%, there's only 55k missing now. It seems somewhat improbable that Lieberman should be able to get 34500 of these and Lamont only 20500. Imho it's a sure win for Ned now!
So those numbers are without absentee ballots? Since we were hearing about a big Lamont edge on those, there's a chance of getting a big enough victory to keep Joe out.
Remind me not to work as a greeter at Hooker School in Bridgeport
We were told we were standing too close to the open doors that were opened to let the air in, so after 4 times of reminding us to step back (which we did), they closed the doors. I guess they really didn't need the air. The Lieberman people were not approached or reprimanded.
We were told that we were too loud, that we had to step back, that we were not allowed to use the school chairs to sit on (and I teach in the city). It was pretty constant.
We were told that WE HAD BEEN DRINKING! The last thing I remember is that a Lamont lawyer had to be called in to verify the numbers.

Anyway to confirm those numbers?
U.S. Senate - - Dem Primary
484 of 748 Precincts Reporting - 64.71%
Name Party Votes Pct
Lamont, Ned Dem 89,814 51.60
Lieberman, Joe (i) Dem 84,231 48.40
Any word on turnout so far? 50% or more?
how's the turnout in CT overall? is it enough to kill Lieberman's excuse for his indy run that not a lot of people vote in the summer primary?
Is that for real?
I REALLY want to win this one!
Republicans REALLY want you to win this one, too.
As someone not from CT, I must say I'm impressed with how fast you count the votes.
It's good because I don't know how much of this my nerves can take.
I still posting the reporting coming in. But hey I like your numbers.

If thoswe numbers are right lieberman needs 65% of the remaing 20% of the precints assuming roughly same sized precints.
Can anyone do a percentage count on those numbers? My math sucks :-/

Kos isn't down yet, but it' really acting wierd. I can't post anything anymore, and the recommended diaries are inaccesible.
Must me Denial of Service.
I can't get on to Firedoglake! Anyone else having problems?
Can get onto FDL but only what looks to be an archive from quite a while ago
AP with 484 precincts reporting - what's still yet to report:
#Pr. Town
23 Stamford
23 Hartford
12 W Hartford
7 E Hartford
10 Wethersfield
14 Middletown
14 Norwalk
10 Bristol
10 Fairfield
10 Manchester
10 Milford
10 Wethersfield
10 New Haven (out of 45)
9 Wallingford
9 Glastonbury
9 Enfield
And after that, it's places like Vernon and Bloomfield and smaller stuff like that.
