And, a man who had no name recognition only 7 months ago &#8211; Ned Lamont &#8211; a politically inexperienced multi-millionaire anti-war progressive. A recent poll shows Lamont has a 13-point lead over Lieberman among likely voters in tomorrow&#8217;s Democratic primary. Lieberman has said he intends to run as an independent if he loses. Lamont&#8217;s success has been driven by several factors, among them deep anti-war sentiments against the war in Iraq, and voters&#8217; anger at Lieberman&#8217;s stance in favorof war, as well as support from bloggers and other progressive activists. Lamont&#8217;s personal fortune, which has also allowed him to enter the race, is estimated at $200 million and was made from his company, Lamont Digital Systems, which wires college campuses and gated communities for cable television. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nedlamont.com\">www.nedlamont.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUEST: Norman Solomon, Executive Director of Institute for Public Accuracy In tomorrow&#8217;s Democratic primary, two candidates face off for a seat on the US Senate to represent the state of Connecticut.
