Lieberman Campaign Desperate

It seems from what Liebermans campaign is currently doing with there 10 day bus tour is making it look like they are truly interested in seeing Connecticut voters .For Lieberman no matter how many bus tours he takes through Connecticut towns and cities its to late. Having Washington Insiders come to Connecticut and Waterbury's Palace to show there with Joe is nothing more then a PR Campaign .Maybe if Connecticut voters see Clinton and the rest standing on stage with Senator Lieberman they will support him if they were undecided. The truth be told Connecticut voters have not been heard by any of these Washington Insiders within the US Senate.Barbara Boxer who was from what we know a Bush Critic on the Iraq War comes and shows her support for a Pro War Leiberman whats up with that Barbara ?Which side are you on?Senate Watch looks deeply at this race in Connecticut where we are based.All of the Washington Senators could come and try to convince Connecticut voters to support Joe Leiberman and its not going to work.Why? Because Democrats and others are smarter then these Washington Insiders give us credit.On August 8th an Important moment in Connecticut and United States Politics will take place.You have a chance to elect a Progressive to the Senate and a voice for us thats Ned Lamont.Leiberman is on his last bus tour and you the voters will makesure of that August 8th

Update From CT:Schlesinger To Be Chased From Race?

July 12, 2006
Update From CT: Schlesinger To Be Chased From Race?
Hartford Courant columnist Kevin F. Rennie sends along this late breaking news:
Expect calls for Connecticut Republican United States Senate nominee Alan Schlesinger to abandon his race to begin in the next several days. Questions are being raised about the former state representative’s gambling habits that have Republicans sounding rattled.
A persistent government critic and former state police casino licensing commander Bradley Beecher sent emails early this week raising questions about Schlesinger. The ones that have Republicans talking are that their Senate candidate is, in casino parlance, a card counter and has used a “Wampum Card” (the Foxwood casino loyalty card that gets gamblers points for spending money) under the assumed name of “Alan Gold”. Schlesinger said today that he does have a card under that name but has not used it “in this decade.” The candidate, sounding agitated in a phone conversation, says he does recall being told by a casino official that he should not be playing blackjack at their facility.
The most serious trouble for Schlesinger, however, comes from Republican state chairman George Gallo, who told me this afternoon that the gambling questions raise “a lot of questions which Mr. Schlesinger is going to have to answer in the next couple of days.” Gallo, who is close to Republican Governor M. Jodi Rell, said, “Our mistake is that we only vetted candidates using their real names.”
Gallo has spoken to Schlesinger and sounded, without providing specifics for the record, unimpressed with the candidates explanations. The party chair would be unlikely to have been so critical of the Republican nominee without a signal from Rell’s office.
Hounding Schlesinger off the ticket would open an opportunity for a wealthy Republican aspirant to join what could be a three way race after the August 8th Democratic primary in which challenger Ned Lamont is closing in on incumbent Joseph Lieberman. Three termer Lieberman has obtained petitions to secure a spot on the ballot as an independent should he lose to Lamont next month.
Republicans are rumored to have some moguls of their own interested in jumping into the fray. Forcing Schlesinger off the ballot would be the first step. He won’t go quietly, you can bet on that.

Ned Lamont last night spoke at a Bookstore called the Book Vault on July 10th at 7pm.
He covered alot of the issues during the first hour from Universal Healtcare ,the War in Iraq,Alternative Energy and Conservation,Education and the Internet.

It was a packed house last night for Ned Lamont a businessman who started his own telecommunications company and who is taking on Senator Joe Leiberman in the August 8th Primary of the Democratic Party.

A few things to say about last night when people were asking questions Ned Lamont took the time to answer them fully .

If anyone believed ned Lamont was a one issue candidate last night would have proven them wrong from day one.

If one were to poll the room which was standing room only and did a poll I think he convinced alot if not all present to vote for him and get involved in his campaign.

I noticed alot of People signing up for his campaign to help.

There were other reporters there that alo interviewed Ned Lamont before and after the event held at the Book Vault last night.


In other news Lieberman has decided to jump the Democratic ship and has created yes a new party called Connecticut for Lieberman will have more on this as it developes. So stayed tuned

Hi Folks

What a debate Connecticut viewers had last night between Senator Lieberman and Ned Lamont.

If you had a chance to view this one and only debate between the candidates it seems Ned Lamont came out strong in the end and here's why.

He was attacked by Lieberman a few times throughout the debate and reponded calmly and directly on the issues from Education to the War in Iraq.

Senator Lieberman was for the most part on the defense on his past 18 years in the Senate.

What I found interesting after the debate is the post debate polls from a number of varied sources.

All of which had Ned Lamont way ahead in the 80-90 % range and Lieberan in single to low 20% at most depending which polls you viewed.

Senator Lieberman is in trouble in this Election and Primary.

My feeling is Ned Lamont will get the grassroot Democratic voters and former Lieberman supporters with the Party will vote for Ned Lamont aswell.

Even if Senator Lieberman runs as an Independent he will end up losing regardless of it becoming a three way race.

Ned Lamont did extremely well against this Senior Senator
