Lamont, Schlesinger, Lieberman Liveblog

Join me in the comments for the live reactions.

Key question: how will Schlesinger affect the dynamic? Liebrman is more a Republican now than he was in the Democratic primary. He absolutely needs the Republican voters' support in this blue state.

Can Lamont and moderators, with Schlesinger's help, pin Joe down?

For Lamont: he needs Schlesinger to hang onto or add a small percent of the GOP, and Lamont needs to just show he is Senate calibre.

Update [2006-10-16 13:56:49 by Ross Smith]: Instant analysis: Ned Lamont needed to explain why the best solution in these times is a Democratic congress and that is why independents and Republicans across the country are electing Democrats this fall. he never pinned Joe down on Joe's recent unwilingness to say whether or not he favored a GOP controlled House, nor on whether Joe would caucus with the Democrats. He needs a coach.
