Lamont rallying support for Senate campaign

By Neil Vigdor Staff Writer February 6, 2006
On the wall of an office in Republican Greenwich hangs a sign: Ned Lamont for U.S. Senate. It might as well be a collector's item because it's the only one. But it's a start, says Lamont, a local businessman and former town selectman who fueled the Internet blogosphere last month when he revealed that he was considering a challenge of Sen. Joe Lieberman. Lamont is no Republican, however. That's a label he says is more fitting for his would-be opponent."Joe is clearly the most popular Democrat for all Republicans," said Lamont, who called the entrenched incumbent out of touch with state Democrats such as himself. A recent Quinnipiac University poll supports that theory, with 75 percent of Republicans surveyed saying they would support Lieberman for re-election this year, compared to 59 percent of Democrats.....

Businessman makes moves toward challenging Lieberman
February 7, 2006
HARTFORD, Conn. --Wealthy Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont took steps Monday toward becoming an official challenger to U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, naming a campaign manager and forming a candidate committee.
Lamont, 52, also began searching for a headquarters for a possible Democratic primary contest against Lieberman, a three-term incumbent and the 2000 Democratic nominee for vice president.
"It is a significant step forward," said Tom Swan, who is managing what he calls an exploratory campaign. "I am happy that Ned asked me to play a role within this campaign."
Lamont is president and founder of Lamont Digital Systems, a cable television company. He expressed interest last month in a possible challenge of Lieberman, who has been criticized by fellow Democrats for his support of the war in Iraq.
Lamont has also created a Web site and gone on an informal speaking tour. He has said he wants 1,000 volunteers to sign up on his Web site, http://www.nedlamont.com, before taking his exploratory campaign to the next level........................
