SuperTuesday Donut Hole

The 2006 Connecticut Democratic primary, according to one pollster who has been monitoring turnout today is turning into a “donut primary.” The suburbs are outstripping Democratic cities in voter interest in the race between Joe Lieberman and Ned Lamont. Lieberman has been counting on voters in the state’s cities to overcome the advantage Lamont is expected to show in liberal suburban voting. That may not be happening. In the Democratic redoubt of East Hartford, one of the state’s most reliably Democratic towns, the turnout was 20% at 1 pm, reassuring Lamont’s campaign that moderate, blue collar Democrats may not be as interested in supporting Lieberman as liberals in more affluent communities are in turning him out.

Go, Ned, go! Take down that pompous, sanctimonius, self-infatuated ass who truly believes his Senate seat is a lifetime appointment.
