Lamont has a lot to take advantage of.
I have seen a lack of Lamont ads and a deluge of LIEber/LOSERman ads, his most recent one stating that Lamont wouldn't have lifted a finger to save the Groton sub base.

Lamont has so much to work with, enough to sway the sought-after Independents. The "war" is very unpopular here in the Constitution State, but the focus should be on the Repukes and how LIEber/LOSERman is an enabler more than anything else.

He voted for the torture bill! That has to be plastered all over the airwaves.

With the above said, I've gone from "jumping up and down" to "slightly concerned". I'm glad to see Kennedy and Kerry campaign with Lamont and I hope this gives him a boost in the polls. I can't say much for the others who verbally support Lamont but don't want to ruffle any feathers. Didn't Boxer campaign for LIEber/LOSERman?

I hope Lamont uses everything during this last month until November. I just donated some extra money, even though things are tight right now.

1. same here, I donated and I hope Lamont starts to include his "vision"
in his next set of ads. the only complaints I here from my Indi friends is that they want more forward looking statements.

I personally liked his speech (3 mins. ) at his acceptance of the AFSME endorsement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNd5LhAIotE&eurl=

this speech includes the future of Lamont ads.

2. Lamont needs a "basset hound" ad.

In MA Romney won by portraying his opponent as a basset-hound guard-dog -- that is an ineffective guard dog -- surrounding her job performance.

Lamont should do an ad about "rolling over" for Republican interests, with lots of pictures of cute dogs rolling over. I'm sure it could be tastefully done to avoid the anti-negative-ad bias if it was worked on enough.

3. You know what???
I think this race is TOTALLY WINNABLE for Lamont...but why doesn't he use his OWN MONEY. I mean the guy has HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS!!!!!!!!! Why does he allow Lieberman to be on the air all the time? Why isn't Lamont ON THE AIR ALL THE TIME!!!

5. Didn't he just put another big chunk of money in?
He's contributed a great deal, financially. He needs more of the big bucks donors, though, and I suspect as an "outsider" that's harder to get.
