Time is running out to help Ned Lamont.

[Eric J in MN]

The Democratic primary challenge to Jospeh Lieberman is Tuesday, August 8, 2006 (one week from the time of this writing.)

If you want to send a postcard to a friend or relative in Connecticut using the webpage at Ned Lamont's website, now is a good time.

If you want to donate (or donate again), now is a good time.

1. Lamont's appearance on Colbert last night

was worth a wad in advertising dollars. He really did a great job.

I have contributed $$$ to his campaign (I'm in California) to hopefully be used in a last minute TV ad blitz.

2. Are there any recent polls? Last I saw it seems they were about tied.

4. Rasmussen had Lamont beating Joe by @ 10% in the primary

They were neck in neck in the hypothetical three way race. If Joe loses the primary, and his independent run becomes a reality, I am sure his numbers would go down more than this poll suggests.

Joseph Lieberman (I) 40%
Ned Lamont (D) 40%
Alan Schlesinger (R) 13%

7. I agree. I think when people see Joe lose the primary he will

lose alot of support. I can't imagine supporting a Dem who lost in the primary.

8. I heard that there was another Quinnipiac poll just about to comeout

Don't know too much more. We'll keep you posted!

[David Dunham]

10. I hear that poll has Joe gaining ground. Ned peaked too soon.

[skipos]

11. Joe has been bleeding in poll after poll for months now

I thought he would have had a dead cat bounce by now, let me know if it ever comes.

[calico1]

32. Check out the new poll results

that came out today. Wherever you are getting your information from, you should seek another source.

3. I think I already contributed the maximum allowed. n/t

[Eric J in MN]

6. Wow. That's a lot more than I donated. NT

5. Close race between war haters and the pro Israel crowd.

Should be interesting to see how it goes down

[Clarkie1]

12. Huh? Liberman and Lamont are both very pro-Israel.

Didn't you know that?

[AtomicKitten]

17. actual information is not required to fuel an attitude here at DU

doncha know?

It interferes in the split between "us" and "them" ---- whatever that means.

26. The DLC contingent has had its say.

Shockingly, it was nothing constructive and nothing they haven't said 100 times before. :sarcasm:

[AtomicKitten]

28. you seem obsessed with the DLC

Not everyone that thinks you are a twit supports the DLC (there are quite a few of the former but not so many of the latter), but you'd actually have to research that information and, like I said, actual information conflicts with your campaign of silliness here at DU.

Your uninformed assertions are always amusing nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

oh, BTW, here's some of the pesky actual information: http://forward.com/articles/8190

[MarkDevin]

29. Not obsessed.

Just tired of their one-track-minded, sell-out apologists at DU.

[AtomicKitten]

30. since you are new here

you might want to actually do some research before making such stupid allegations

[DFLforever]

9. You've inspired me, Eric,

to make another contribution.

I'm hoping Lamont wins but I think it'll be very close.

He's got the heavy Dem guns all aimed at him.

[Eric J in MN]

13. Thank you. It will be close. Lieberman is spending...

...about $10 million while Lamont is spending about $5 million.

Also, Lieberman has the support of Bill Clinton, the Hartford Courant, the LA Times, and the Washington Post.

[MarkDevin]

27. And Lamont has the support of the New York Times.

And, incidentally, lots and lots of Connecticut Dems! :bounce:

[rpannier]

14. Thanks for the heads up

These reminders are always appreciated.

[Eric J in MN]

16. You're welcome. NT

18. Done! Well, my small part anyway.

$30.00 to Ned Lamont. I know it's not much but it's something.

22. I just contributed through Democracy for America

[Eric J in MN]

24. I like "Democracy for America."

Thank you.

[MarkDevin]

25. On Monday, I sent out about 40 of those postcards.

I've also helped out at his campaign office in Willimantic and have kicked in a few bucks to his coffers.

Suffice it to say, I'm not supporting Mr. Lieberman! ;)

[Eric J in MN]

33. Wow. Thank you.

I hope we have big turnout for Ned Lamont on Tuesday.

[Imagevision]

31. I believe the people of CT. will easily dump Lieberman

[Eric J in MN]

34. Tuesday night will be happy at DU if that happens. NT
