"Ned Lamont Has a Messy Desk"

Submitted by Bob Geiger on July 10, 2006 - 4:34pm.

Looking for a Monday chuckle? Check out this new ad for the Ned Lamont Senatorial campaign designed to get Joe Lieberman's camp to focus on the issues.

"But since a national television audience doesn’t stop his campaign from distortions, half-truths and outright lies, why should anyone expect him to keep it honest while running millions of dollars worth of attack ads in Connecticut?" says the Lamont web site, referring to some on the fibs told by Lieberman in last week's debate and the nasty ads they've been running. "Since Senator Lieberman said he 'works hard' for those contributions, we’ve created our own attack ad … one that goes after Ned. Hopefully that will ease the burden created while tending to the corporate interests and political action committees filling his campaign coffers."

Lieberman's Challenger Is Playing Catch-Up

For weeks, political analysts have said that antiwar businessman Ned Lamont is closing in on Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman in next month's Democratic primary in Connecticut.

Now there is evidence. A poll released yesterday shows that Lamont has jumped ahead of Lieberman among likely voters, 51 to 47 percent. The lead is within the poll's margin of error, making the race a dead heat with a little more than two weeks until the Aug. 8 primary. In early June, Lieberman, a strong supporter of the Iraq war, led 55 to 40 percent.

The Quinnipiac University poll also shows that Lieberman, who announced he will run as an independent if he does not win the primary, would defeat Lamont and the Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger, in a three-way race in the general election. Lieberman would get 51 percent of the vote, Lamont 27 percent and Schlesinger 9 percent.
