Update 10:35: Fox News just reported Lamont leading Lieberman 52 - 48% with 84 percent of precincts reporting, but has not yet called the race.

Update 10:40: Commentary from Katherine Jean Lopez:

Here's some spin for the odd right-Lieberman allies:

Subject: So, where's the Lamont Landslide?

I am reminded of Marvin the Martain asking "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!"

Yes, yes there is still tiem for Lamont to have a giant rush at the end. But somehow I am doubting that.

If the best the "netroots" can do is a 51-49 (in essence a draw) in CT of all places, this could be fizzling more than an Illudium Q-38 Explosive Space Modulator.

The Hotline blog reports that Lamont is awaiting Lieberman's concession call.

11:05 -- Lieberman is speaking. Says tomorrow the campaign will file petition with Sec. of State to continue campaign for a new politics of unity and purpose. If voters will send him back to Senate as an independent Democrat he will continue fighting for progressive principles, but will not quit working with members of opposing parties if it will help citizens. Will always do what he believes is right for state and country regardless of political consequences.

He is asking people across the nation to visit his website "when it is unhacked" to join him to fight divisive politics. Also asked for a campaign contribution.

Update 11:22 p.m.:Lamont's speech (what was carried of it) was really bad. After Lieberman spoke against divisiveness, Lamont served a heaping helping of it. With Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson just over his shoulders, he did not have a kind word for Lieberman (at least as long as the camera was on him) and he called for the return of our troops, engaged in a bloody civil war in Iraq, to a hero's welcome. Huh? I have not listened to this guy enough before now to realize just how ridiculous his rhetoric is. Let's say everyday how badly our guys are losing in Iraq, then let's bring them home to a "hero's welcome." It is Dean scream time now. I will go insane listening to this guy for three more months. I have a feeling that the independent voters of Connecticut might, too. Even many of the liberal ones.

Joe sounds ready to go, and Ned is spouting more of the same. If Lamont was smart, he would have taken the high road and talked at length about how important it was to unite the party and would have even thrown a few kind words Lieberman's way. That way he would have possibly made Lieberman look a bit sad for trying to continue after suffering the loss. Lamont would have looked like a bigger man. Instead, he looked small, especially with the moonbat posse behind him. Has anyone used "moonbat posse" before to describe the Sharpton, Jackson, Sheehan, etc. cast of characters? If not, I want to claim it now. [See update below -- Lamont did find a "few kind words" to throw Lieberman's way. Well, two to be exact. And he did make a reference to unity, but no talking "at length" about the importance of uniting the party. I was live-blogging this from the televised version, which did not show the entire speech.]

I finally figured it out! I have been trying to figure out who Lamont resembles and I just realized he looks like President Logan in "24." Am I the last person on earth to notice that?

I should have known fellow Carolina girl, Sister Toldjah, and I would be on the same wavelength. "Lamont is giving his victory speech. Rev. Jesse Jackson can be seen in the background. So can Rev. Al Sharpton. If Cindy Sheehan weren't stalking the President in Crawford, she'd probably be there, too." Ha! The moonbat posse. That's what I'm talking about. From now 'til November.

Update (1:40 a.m.) -- Here is a report which includes a portion of the Lamont speech which I did not see watching television. As soon as Fox cut away from Lamont's speech, I turned immediately to CNN and they were running a commercial so they evidently cut away before Fox did, so I don't know whether or not any of this ran. I will need to check a transcript of the speech to know whether the following came before or after the part I saw aired:

Lamont, speaking to his supporters during a victory celebration after Lieberman conceded, urged Lieberman not to run.

"I want to thank Sen. Lieberman for his campaign." Lamont said. "I want to thank him for the dignity and decency in which he has represented our state and our country, for many, many years.

"I'm hoping, that over the next few days that he will come to the conclusion that the party is going to stick together and go forward united," Lamont said.

Perhaps even more difficult to reconcile is the comment to this post which included the quote above:

Hilarious, Lorie. You couldn't have spent less effort on this post. It took me about five seconds to find this CNN article detailing Lamont's victory speech, including his kind words for Leiberman and a call for unity... I'm sure you'll whine "but those parts weren't carried!"

Maybe you should watch something besides FAUX News.
