The Republican got 10% of the total vote (!) against Lieberman's 50 and the Democrat's 40.
The Republicans voted for Lieberman figuring they would keep the Democrat from winning. Trouble is there were two Democrats running. Lose-lose for the Republicans.

Lieberman is not much of a democrat.
He is one of the few classical 'defense democrats' even left in Congress at all.
