Disclosure: I worked for the Lamont campaign doing web design and production and some writing for the official blog (from 9/5/06 to 11/07/06).

Bumbling, Weak, and Out-of-Touch
As a general rule, an 18-year incumbent senator shouldn't feel the need to go to the AP to whine about a primary opponent with single-digit name recognition during the first week of a campaign.
Not a good sign for Lieberman.

The more LIEberman whines about Lamont, the more publicity he gets. It's win win.

Truman said something about telling the truth and they just think it's hell...

Devastating. Bush's favorite Democrat. Make sure and let the netroots know what you need. We want Lieberman gone.

As firedoglake notes, we don't know if he has "single-digit name recognition" or something higher - in the poll, 93% "had not heard enough about Lamont to form an opinion," which is different from name recognition.

Firedoglake posted a link to another article:
http://cayankee.blogs.com/cayankee/2006/03/lieberman_blast.html
It ends with this "thoughtful" comment:
I think Lieberman's campaign is not going to give Lamont a pass on anything. They will hit Lamont ever time the upstart gets any press. The Lieberman campaign wants Lamont to understand that challenging the party leadership and a popular incumbent senator results in hardball politics.
Is it me? Or does this article reek of bully boy sniff & scratch? Sounds like Lieberman is just itching for a game of political chicken. Excuse me, but Lieberman is not a popular senator. He's just the senator by default in the land of no change. & Why is Dodd suddenly looking like Lieberman's sockpuppet? (re: Feingold's censure.)

"Republican Light" and "Bush's favorite Democrat"
Oooh, what angry angry words!
Calling legitimate critical comments "angry", when they're not, is right out of the Republican playbook. Lieberman just inadvertantly reinforced this criticism.

It appears the Lieberman campaign's entire strategy is to hope no one is paying attention.
