Definitely under 50% - 278,000 out of a potential 697,000. There are 454,000 registered Republicans and a whooping 929,000 Independents. Obviously, most of the latter have gone Dem in the past for Senate and Presidential seats but there's a mix in State and local. Lowell Weicker (former gov) has founded Independents for Lamont and was instrumental in getting Lamont to run in the first place.

I'm with you, though. I hope someone talks Lieberman into that nice cushy lobbyist position that's waiting for him and the CT campagain can be about issues and money spent where needed more.
