IT IS OVAH!!!!!

Joementum has hit a brick wall.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman conceded to cable executive Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary for the Connecticut Senate nomination Tuesday night but vowed to run as an "independent Democrat" this fall.

With 94 percent of the precincts reporting, Lamont led Lieberman 52 percent to 48 percent, according to The Associated Press.



I honestly was not sure we were going to win today, and I am more than pleasantly surprised. If we had lost today it would have been coming next time, but why put off til tomorrow what you can do today? This is a great victory for the country's Democratic grassroots. We have now rid ourselves of the worst incumbent we had and will replace him with a real Democrat.

We know that Lieberman cannot run as an 'independent Democrat' because only the Democratic candidate in a CT general election can bear the 'Democrat' title. If I recall correctly, the winner of the best name for Lieberman's party contest at Eschaton was 'Bullshit Moose.'

I think we can finally breath a deep sigh of relief, pat ourselves on the back, and go get fucked up.

Enjoy :)
