(DEAN BARNETT HERE)

Does Liebermania live? Is Lamont being hamshered by the black-face image conjured up by a blogger he knew nothing about but who had directed him in a TV ad and was a member of his entourage?

The latest Quinnipiac poll shows the once robust 14 point Lamont lead has been shaved to six points. This has all happened in less than a week. Stunningly, this actually puts Lieberman in striking distance, especially if he has a robust ground game working tomorrow as expected.

What will be the final result? Put your guess in the comments section. The winner will receive a free corned beef sandwich from the Palm Beach Gardens Toojay’s deli - tax, gratuity, beverage and transportation not included.

Good luck!

Oh, and I’ll have many more thoughts on this race and its possible outcomes later in the day.
