Ned Lamont, receives 16 of 22 delegates, Lieberman ZERO!

[usregimechange]

From his campaign's e-mail:

We have something to prove. On Friday at midnight our campaign faces its first quarterly fundraising deadline. More than 2,355 of you have already stepped up and contributed online - help us hit 3,000 by our deadline.

This campaign has gone farther in one month than I ever imagined. Just this week, 16 of the 22 delegates elected to the State Party convention from Greenwich have pledged their support to my campaign. Not a single delegate endorsed Joe Lieberman.

Don't let anyone fool you - Joe Lieberman is worried. His campaign is continually making the ludicrous claim that this is a single-issue campaign. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Of course I oppose Joe Lieberman's stand on the War in Iraq, as do 60% of Americans. I also believe that the $ 250 million a day we spend in Iraq would be better spent ensuring that everyone have quality, affordable health care, and that the war is distracting us from developing real solutions for our future energy and education needs. I would have lead the fight against Samuel Alito' lifelong appointment to the Supreme Court and will hold the Bush administration accountable for any illegal wiretapping.

1. Lamont is the real deal

So much better than the wishy-washy LIEberman. He's going to get on the ballot in August and we're going to send LIEberman a message. We will not tolerate this anymore!

GO LAMONT!!!


:kick:and:thumbsup:!!!

11. That was in Greenwich

Ridgefield gave him 8 out of 11 delegates

and Cornwall gave him 1 out of 1

The other towns haven't announced yet.

2. I hope he can get the word out...

Connecticut is one of the few states -- the only one, perhaps -- where a liberal Democrat could defeat a more-conservative Democratic senator and then go on to win a general election -- unlike, for example, Nebraska and Ben Nelson.

Anyway, here's hopin'! :toast:

3. That's what I call Joementum.....right out the door! Did I say "right"?

Oh, must have been a Fruedian slip or something I get when I think of Sen Enabler

[TechBear_Seattle]

4. Does Conn select candidates by caucus?

I'm not quite sure what is the significance of pledged delegates.

[Nutmegger]

7. Lamont needs 15% (272) of the delegates so he can get on the

ballot in August. They will vote in the Dem convention which meets in May. This is extremely important.

9. LOL! Wouldn't it be funny if Lieberman couldn't get on the ballot?

:rofl:

[Career Prole]

5. "Friday at midnight" means late Friday night, right?

And not wicked early Friday morning?
(Midnights always confuse me!)
I want to beat the deadline but that Friday morning paycheck will make it easier to do. Sooo...Friday around noon-ish is okay?

[IndyOp]

16. I am certain they will be *very* happy for every contribution received...

...whenever you can send it. They put a deadline out so people will feel like they need to rush to beat the clock -- it raises more $$.

:hi:

6. Kick for Lamont! Here's link to a 14 min AUDIO mp3 file interview

10. Stay the course HoeJoe ...

[Ian David]

13. I want LIEberman's home phone number so I can taunt him after he loses

[IndianaGreen]

12. The problem is that Greenwich is Lamont's hometown

This is a long and tough race ahead for Lamont and for all those that are tired of Holy Joe's enabling of the Bush dictatorship.

[skipos]

15. I was wondering if this was an anomaly.

I'd like Lamont to win, but Lieberman's approval ratings and poll number seem really solid.

[high density]

14. I'd love to see LIEberman be forced into retirement

I don't think it's going to be very easy though.

[MoonRiver]

17. KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO NED LAMONT!!!

:woohoo::bounce::kick::bounce::woohoo::bounce::kick::bounce::woohoo:

[ihelpu2see]

18. I gave $150 today to Ned Lamont. Joe never answered my email about

his speech on the Senate floor regarding Clinton and his affair while not even taking chimpy to task for NSA spying or lying us into war or lying in 2 State of the Union Speeches. Ned gets my vote and in our initial straw poll for our town delegates only 1 person is leaning toward Joe Lieberman and 4 seem a solid in Lamonts corner. I am on the town council and will lobby for him.

[usregimechange]

20. Giving some myself, now...

[Usrename]

22. Thanks for all your efforts.

You are helping the whole country, really the whole world. I appreciate it.

[David Zephyr]

19. Kick.

[stillrockin]

21. Yeah, baby!!!!

:kick:

[TankLV]

23. Hey - it would be a one issue for me: Anybody but LIE-berman.

Get the fuck outta here, holy joe!

Go join the repukes already - you're one in everything but name since your WAR CRIMINAL buddies got put into power!

[SoCalDem]

24. Lieberman is an embarrassment

He's a cloying little troll who has his face buried in *²'s buttcheeks.

There ARE ways to not insult an assinine president without plastering his ugly mug with kisses.. Joementum grins from ear to ear every time *² looks at him..

If CT wants a republican senator, they can buy a real one....no need for joe.

[intheflow]

25. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

:spray: OMG, this was good to read first thing in the morning! :rofl:

[Mr_Spock]

26. Lieberman is going to have to become a republican for real

We don't want him any more...

[AnneD]

27. I heard Lieberman on NPR....

was whineing about how he was a DEM and and that he is taking the blame for Iraq, etc. Frankly, I wouldn't vote for him because of NOT JUST the war, but his promoting the Bankruptcy bill, the Patriot act, etc etc etc. Kudos to our DEMS in Conn. for calling him out.

I will never forget when after Bush's SOTUS..."I know it was you Fredo....You broke my heart" smooch from Bush. Yeah, tell me again how you are in touch with your people?????

I hope this is a wake up call for every other DEM that forgets who puts them in office and controls the party. I think our tent is really big, but if you keep sleeping with the elephants....out you go.

[Jack Rabbit]

28. Maybe we have a chance to pick up this seat after all
