Lamont with a solid lead; Lieberman won't appear on Colbert's show
Political Wire:
Even Colbert, The Most Important Man in News, can't get through to Lieberman:
¶ 9:43 AM
Ned Lamont (D) leads Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) 54% to 41% among likely Democratic primary voters, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.
This compares to a 51% to 47% Lamont lead in the last poll two weeks ago.
Even Colbert, The Most Important Man in News, can't get through to Lieberman:
In Tuesday night's broadcast of Comedy Central's "Colbert Report," host Stephen Colbert enticed U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman to visit his show with a package of the senator's favorite things: a bowl of Cocoa Puffs, a CD of Andrea Bocelli, a copy of the movie "Mystic River" and a trip to south Florida.I would be happy to pay for Lieberman's trip to Florida myself. Only condition would be that the ticket would have to be one way.
"All of this could be yours if you've got enough Joe-mentum to get to my studio before the primary day next Tuesday," Colbert said.
Lieberman, once again, declined.
