Lieberman Loses Democratic Primary
Vows Run As Independent
http://www.nbc11.com/news/9647111/detail.html?treets=bay&tml=bay_natlbreak&ts=T&tmi=bay_natlbreak_1_10420208082006
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Joe Lieberman, crippled by his support for the
Iraq war, lost the Democratic nomination for a fourth term Tuesday
to a political newcomer who portrayed him as an apologist for the
Bush administration.
His loss to Ned Lamont - just six years after his party made him
its vice presidential candidate - made him only the fourth
incumbent senator to lose a primary since 1980. But he pledged to
petition his way onto the November ballot as an independent
candidate.
The three-term lawmaker is struggling to overcome a tough primary
challenge and escape payback from his own party for supporting the
Iraq war.
Six years after Democrats backed him for vice president, Lieberman
was trailing with 48 percent, to political novice Ned Lamont's 52
percent, with 81 percent of precincts reporting.
Lieberman has been locked in a battle with Lamont fueled by
anti-war sentiment in the nation's most closely watched primary
race.
