The Repub candidate seems to have some "issues" and maybe Lieberman thinks there's more issues to come out about the guy, causing a number of Repubs to throw their vote to Lieberman. He'd have his own supporters, some anti-Lamont dems and Repubs who hate Schlesinger. Isn't that a formula that could win?

Republicans are very loyal voters. Much more so than Democrats. It is very hard to get them to switch partys in a general election. Your question assumes that most voters pay attention (like us) which they don't. Most don't pay attention, show up on election day, vote party line and forget about the whole thing.
Unless the Republican candidate is caught in bed with young boys, he will get ninety percent of the Republican vote.
