2. Ned Lamont lost for one reason and only one reason.

Connecticut (unlike most states) allows a primary loser (emphasis on LOSER in this case) to switch parties (or invent a fictional party like Lieberdouche did) and run in the general.

Joe Lieberdouche won because the Republican candidate was a joke. He got the Repuke votes. Lamont got the Democratic votes.

It's not comparable at all to Rand Paul, because no Democrats (even in KY) are going to vote for his racist ass.
