Tuesday Morning Round-Up
- Four weeks to go until the primary: now's the time to get involved!
- More on Lieberman's fake bumper sticker ad: Peter Urban at the Connecticut Post gets Sean Smith spinning so fast he falls down dizzy:
"It is a metaphor," said Sean Smith, Lieberman's campaign manager....
"Campaigns should stick to the facts, which our campaign has done," Smith said. "Everything we have put out about their campaign has been sourced."
Which is it, Sean?Deception"Metaphor" or "Fact"? Meanwhile, over in the Courant, Marion Steinfels continues her never-ending comedy routine:"Did Joe Lieberman's voice really come out of George Bush's face?" she said. "It's so silly."
Yes. The Lamont campaign intentionally deceived voters by trying to make them think that the soul of Joe Lieberman had invaded George Bush's body. That's just like faking a bumper sticker. FactCheck.org rakes Sean and Marion over the coals:Overall, the Lieberman campaign is well within its rights to argue that Lamont's campaign lacks a positive message and is simply "anti-Lieberman." But creating false campaign material and passing it off as authentic? That seems at odds with the ad's praise of Lieberman's "principles."
- The Hill rounds up Lieberman's Democratic senate colleagues' support for his potential run in the "Lieberman" party... he's not getting much of it:
More than a week after announcing that he will run as an independent if he loses the Democratic nomination, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman can count his unconditional Democratic Caucus supporters on one hand — and still have fingers left over.
They can add Pat Leahy to the group saying they'll support the choice of the voters of Connecticut. - Spazeboy was at the Lamont event in Wallingford last night and has video on Ned's position on Net Neutrality. The Official Blog was there too, to report on the packed house, and has some video of Ned talking about energy policy.
- According to Larkspur at MLN, Paul Hackett unofficially endorsed Ned Lamont yesterday on the radio.

Whoo-hoo! Go Pat Leahy!
I'm a Vermonter currently living in NYC, and I'm going to sign up to come out and volunteer on my weekends. I can't wait... and I should mention, it will be my first campaign volunteer experience, so I'm excited.
