With just three days to go before Primary Day in Connecticut, there's no shortage of updates...

* Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey told NPR today that he expects Lieberman to give up on an independent campaign if he loses on Tuesday. Josh Marshall seems to believe the same thing.

* Alex Koppelman has a good piece in Salon on Lieberman being a "Fox News Democrat." Literally.

* The WaPo reported that Lieberman has "scrapped plans for a massive and costly get-out-the-vote operation on primary day," and will instead focus on TV ads that are intended to "boost his battered image."

* Greg Sargent had an interesting chat with the lobbyist/Lieberman backer who helped heckle Lamont in a Connecticut diner yesterday.

* Gallup released a poll today showing Lieberman more popular with Republicans than Democrats.

* And Christy Hardin Smith had a great item explaining why Connecticut Dems should not just vote against Lieberman, but should vote for Ned Lamont.
