The Flypaper Theory blog pointed out that:
In 2000, Joe Lieberman's Republican challenger received 448,077 votes.
In 2006, Joe Lieberman's Democratic challenger received 448,077 votes.

The Republican got 109,196, not 12,000.

End of investigation.
As for his Liberal street cred, Lieberman is extremely pro-choice. Other than that, no, not so much. He's in the dictionary next to DINO. But Jim Jeffords was the same way, except with the Republicans so it kind of balanced out for awhile.
Bryan, you don't think it's odd that his opponent got EXACTLY the same number of votes in two different elections? I would DEFINITELY call for an election investigation if I lived in CT. (Assuming that this is true, which may or may not be the case)
"...and for joe to beat out the guy he couldn’t even beat in the primary? that’s vote fraud boys and girls..."
Connecticut has closed primaries, so it's entirely possible for one candidate to do very well in the primary but very poorly in the general. This was a classic example of that.
Other than the fact that the candidate you voted for didn't win (join the club!) what evidence do you have to support your assertion that there was vote fraud in the CT elections?
