Default Political Prop Bet-Lieberman to win re-election.

On Bodog.

Yes is -180
No is +140.

Despite losing the Democratic Primary to Lamont, Lieberman leads in the lastest poll by 10% points, 49% to 39%, and has not trailed in the polls since he lost the Primary. I don't see him losing. Any other opinions on this race?

I rushed to judgement when I first saw this and bet the no, but you're probably right. I just don't understand what's going on here. Is there no Republican candidate? Why aren't Lamont and Lieberman splitting the dem vote and having the repub walk away with this. It doesn't make sense to me, but I haven't paid close attention to it.

I'm from CT, and as of now I'd be surpised if he weren't reelected. I think he'll garner enough votes from independents and republicans to win. There going to have at least one more debate so anything can happen yet.

The republican candidate has a "gambling" problem here, that's no joke. He at one time owed Foxwoods like 100k.

I'm liking it, although it's up to -190. I can't see Lamont winning at all. But I think I'll likely take a pass rather than lock up money for 6 weeks.

Lamont is a lot closer than 10 points in the most recent 2 polls. http://www.slate.com/id/2148600/ (click on the NJ race for polling history). More like 2 or 3 points. Lieberman is far from a lock, but there's too much juice in this spread to bet Lamont either. I'd take Lieberman at -120 or Lamont at +200.

In your link Lieberman has about an 8 point lead. In this one published today by CBS, he has a 10 point lead.
