Worried that Joe will gain an influx of new GOP funding?...lookie here:

His primary campaign against Lamont was already lubricated by the GOP's biggest and most reliable contributors: the finance, insurance, healthcare and real estate industries. (from Open Secrets)

Yikes! Need a shower?

Lieberman's GOP Sugar Daddies may be convinced to re-up their contributions for Holy Joe in the fall, but it won't be easy. The more pragmatic among this group may resist backing Joe's Vanity Campaign since: 1) he's a demonstrated loser, and 2) they will at least have to cover their bets in Connecticut and that means a like contribution to Ned Lamont.

Don't look for any big new influx of GOP money in Connecticut. The GOP will, however, be spending millions in soft money to promote Lieberman and his policies-- in other states-- as they try to market their lame spin that Lieberman's loss somehow shows that the Democrats are wrong on national security. (Don't ask :eyes:)

what'd you expect? Corporate influence and $$$ go hand-in-hand.

The "smart money" doesn't get or stay "smart" by backing losers. And without the push of the national party behind him, Joe will have a real hard time getting the bucks to put on a credible campaign. He has the stink of losing all over him, having lost two of his last three elections, and it looks like he's trying to make it three out of his last four to finish off his political career.

that refer to Ned Lamont's campaign as being supported by left-wing bloggers, we should remind them that,in order to be fair, they should mention who's supporting Joe.

HAHAHAHA! :rofl: AS IF the left blogosphere actually had enough supporters to change the course of the election! BUT, what we do have going for us is an ability to EDUCATE the electorate. And an educated electorate is a dangerous electorate! I agree with you, LTTE's might be in order here.

and asked him to please stop running stories with that phrase, or else counter it with "Senator Lieberman's campaign, supported by Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and a host of insurance, health care, and financial corporations."

No response. Tee hee.

Looks like some really hard work ahead for Lamont!!

I find this DISGUSTING!!!!

It will take you to different pages with the contributors donations.

...the cash will roll in; even if it means the GOP has to prime the pump initially; although it seems that Joe-nertia has plenty on hand, left over from previous campaigns/fundraising cycles. It doesn't matter to corporate amerika what letter follows their whore's names, as long as they keep turning the required legislative tricks.
