The Democratic primary had a President and former Pres on opposite sides of the campaign.It was a hard fought battle,and yet only 300,000-plus Democrats came out to vote.

The contest in Connecticut was interesting on 2 fronts.
First Ted Lamont, who beat Joe Lieberman in the Dem.primary 4 years ago, lost in his battle for the Gubernatorial nomination.The left wing punished him for turning centrist.

It should be a competive race-don't be suprised by an upset
