Lamont just recently pumped around $500K more of his own money into his campaign for media coverage. I believe that he has spent around $3-4M of his own money so far.

With the DLC AND the Republicans backing Lieberman, I suspect that he is close to running out of money, and his supporters are disheartened.

I also agree with Carolyn that it appears that the blogosphere has abandoned Lamont as well, and that is a shame. It seems like many are willing to accept "the lesser of two evils" and allow the DLC to continue to sell out the Democratic Party.

... to his own campaign. I don't think he's been threatened, I just think he has a campaign staff that knows how to win primaries, but doesn't have a clue about winning general elections.

And the major bloggers are just ignoring the whole thing.

Done, and bump!

Actually, the DLC “politicians” are merely pawns of the real culprits behind the insidious Democratic “Leadership” Council. Two of the neocon posers who have infiltrated the Democratic Party, under the guise of being “New Democrats” are Al From and Will Marshall:

In addition to his duties as the president of the PPI, Marshall kept himself busy in the last few years. Among other things, he served on the board of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, an organization co-chaired by Joe Lieberman and John McCain whose aim was to build bipartisan support for the invasion of Iraq.

Marshall also signed, at the outset of the war, a letter issued by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) expressing support for the invasion. Marshall signed a similar letter sent to President Bush put out by the conservative Social Democrats/USA group on Feb. 25, 2003, just before the invasion. The SD/USA letter urged Bush to commit to "maintaining substantial U.S. military forces in Iraq for as long as may be required to ensure a stable, representative regime is in place and functioning."

One of just a handful of Marshall's co-signatories on that letter was Bruce Jackson, who also happens to be the head of the PNAC (whose letter Marshall also signed) and the founder of the aforementioned Committee for the Liberation of Iraq. Jackson is not only a neo-con of high rank and one of the chief pom-pom wavers for the war effort. He was also a vice president in the weapons division of Lockheed-Martin between 1993 and 2002—meaning that he was one of the implied targets of Bowling for Columbine, which came out in Jackson's last year with the company.

Clearly, Marshall was thinking about the good of the Democratic Party, and not the integrity of his grimy little network of missile-humping cronies, when he and Al From made the curious—and curiously conspicuous—decision to denounce Moore, Hollywood and France at the DLC meeting in early November.

only be very close to Lieberman.

from a long line of Repugs? He seems to be saying what we, as a party seeking to regain power, want to hear.

Compared to the Repug Leiberman, Lamont might be a saint in disguise.

Leiberman has been fired. Lamont cannot do any worse, and may just surprise everyone.

Somewhere in here is the idea that in this particular case, Mickey Mouse would be a welcome change.

at all.

If you are a Progressive Democrat, then I am OSB. Even if you pose as a Democrat, your obvious support of Lieberman puts you in the DLC camp, and you are a part of the problem with the Democratic Party.

Lamont is head and shoulders above Lieberman in ALL areas of ethics, honesty, and pure Americanism. Lieberman, and the rest of his "New Democrat" pals are much worse than any traditionally Conservative Republican that ever existed. That they call themselves "Democrats" is a joke.
