We all know who won last night, but the people whose names appeared on the ballot weren't the only ones with a lot at stake in yesterday's primary.
Here are a few of the unsung losers:
Steven Winter: The Lamont tracker spent months trailing Dan Malloy with a videocamera. What did he have to show for it? A lot of wasted hours, it seems.
Joe Abbey: Lamont campaign manager is now 0-for-2 in high-stakes campaigns. (He also ran Creigh Deeds unsuccessful bid for the governor of Virginia in 2009.)
Doug Schwartz: The Q poll released Monday had Ned Lamont with 45 percent of the vote and Dan Malloy at 42 percent, a statistical dead heat. In reality, it wasn't even close: Malloy got 58 percent to Lamont's 42.
Schiff-iacs: They were devoted and passionate, but in the end, Peter Schiff's large national following didn't appear to make much of a dent in Connecticut: he received just 22 percent of the vote.
