Is Lieberman's goose cooked?

Yesteraday and last night all attention turned to Connecticut's senate race.  Joe Lieberman versus Ned Lamont.  Lamont won the Democratic nomination.  However, this morning's news is not about Lamont's victory, but Lieberman's.

If Lieberman keeps most of his 130,000 primary voters, which is only 10,000 less than Lamont received, Lieberman has a pretty good shot.  Let's face it, the election will be much like a run off, and incumbents typically have stronger showings in run offs.  Furthermore, most of the independents and Democratic moderates who did not show for the primary, NY Post's Dick Morris suggests, should tend to vote Lieberman.  Also in the equation is the GOP wows with Alan "Gold" Schlesinger who failed to win the hearts of most Republicans.  Lieberman can also count on a number of frustrated conservatives to vote for him.
