New Registered Voters Favor Lieberman

Since May, over 11,000 unaffiliated voters became Democrats, reports the Hartford Courant. In addition, nearly 10,000 new voters have registered as Democrats in anticipation of an important primary election.

Saying these numbers are unusually high is an understatement. However, it seems reasonable to say that they can only benefit Lieberman. It's clear that many centrist or conservative Independents have registered as Democrats in hopes to keep a left winger out of the general election.
