Lamont, Lieberman coming to Windsor

[Nutmegger]

WINDSOR - Cable television executive Edward "Ned" Lamont and U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., are coming to town this week in the hopes of winning Democrats - and their 17 delegates to the party's nominating convention - to support their candidacies.

Upset over Lieberman's unwavering support for President George W. Bush and his policy on Iraq, the Democratic Town Committee formally expressed its discontent in February, voting 34-1 for a resolution reprimanding Lieberman for his stance on the war.

Lamont, a Greenwich businessman who is seek to wrest the Democratic nomination for Senate away from Lieberman, will speak tonight at the Democratic Town Committee meeting at 7:30 p.m. at Windsor Town Hall.

Lieberman, meanwhile, is coming to Town Hall on Sunday, April 9, between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to meet in private with committee members, delegates, and elected officials from Windsor and surrounding towns.

1. Would there be any point to gathering an assemblage

outside either meeting? I note that lieberman's meeting is "private." Do you think he is expecting protests? Lamont's is not listed as "private." Should we (CT DEms) go as a show of support?
