Joementum drowns the Kos Kid [Jack M.]

Jane Hamsher freak out index soars to record high.

Check out the following article in the WashPo today.

Here's what the lazy among you need to know:

A new Quinnipiac poll out this morning shows Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is running as an independent, leading businessman Ned Lamont (D) 49 percent to 39 percent. Former state Rep. Alan Schlesinger (R) receives a measly five percent support, while seven percent of the sample remains undecided...

Lieberman, not surprisingly, leads Lamont 69 percent to 15 percent among Republicans and 50 percent to 36 percent among self-identifying Independents. Even among Democrats Lieberman receives 37 percent support -- 20 points below the number backing Lamont -- but still respectable for a Senator who six weeks ago lost own party's nomination.

And while Lamont led among the 35 percent of the sample who said that Iraq was the most important issue in the election, Lieberman carried an advantage among the 65 percent of voters who cited some other issue as most critical to them this fall.

Hmmm...65% of the respondents felt that Iraq was not the main issue of the campaign? And Independents support Lieberman by 14 points?

It must hurt to be a moonbat. No one snatches defeat from the jaws of victory quite like them.

After all...if Lamont wasn't a one-trick pony being ridden hard and put up wet by Kos, he might have had a chance to win this race. Then again, had he not been a one trick pony being ridden hard and put up wet by Kos, he would never have been nominated.

It's a conundrum. Let's just be thankful that it's one our political opponents have to worry about answering.

But because I'm a decent guy, I'll give them a clue: No one defines "lose-lose" proposition more than the Kossacks.

No one.
