I guess fantasy has a place in politics after all
Considering Kos' track record on supporting candidates, it's not surprising that they're desperate to claim a success. So when Ned Lamont makes the ballot, the headline at Kos is:
Lamont Made the Ballot! Big Time!
And it's complete with a quote from Matt at MyDD declaring "Ned Lamont is CRUSHING Joe Lieberman." However, reality seems to be inconveniently contrary to the Kos Kids' desires:
1509 votes countNed Lamont - 505 (33.4%)
Joe Lieberman - 1004 (66.5%)
I can't imagine a campaign feeling "incredibly dejected" when receiving two thirds of the vote. I can't imagine they'd feel "crushed", either.
Of course, the headline could easily read "Kos appearance in Lamont ad disgusts and frightens voters, holds Lamont back to only a third of votes".
