Courant: Lieberman "Shatters Spending Record"
The Courant reports that Lieberman has run - already, and by far - the most expensive campaign in Connecticut history:
$14.8 million. It's what's paying for his lying attack ads. It's what's paying for his staffers - still - crashing Ned's events. And it's coming from people and groups who expect to be paid back.
It's hard to keep up with that. Ned probably won't, in the end.
Joe Lieberman is trying to buy this election. Don't let him.
Lieberman's campaign announced Friday that he had raised $14.8 million in contributions as of Sept. 30 in his quest for a fourth term - $5.1 million of it since early August, when he switched to an independent candidacy after losing the Democratic nomination to businessman Ned Lamont in an Aug. 8 primary. He has $4.7 million in cash left to spend for the Nov. 7 election, he said.

$10.1 Million that wasn't spent elsewhere.
$10.1 million Lieberman doesn't get to keep.
$10.1 million and the best Lieberman gets is almost a draw.
