Ned Lamont: His Coffee Sucks During the World Cup coverage, I dropped off my coverage of Connecticut's Democratic Primary for Senate a bit. For those not in the know: Joe Lieberman, former Democrat, is being challenged by Ned Lamont, a political novice but good guy. What has happened since I last talked about this race? Oh well, it's now on the national news every night, the polls are neck and neck, and what once seemed like a long-shot to take out the Bush-loving Lieberman now actually appears pretty likely. Also, Lieberman announced he would not support Lamont as the Democratic nominee if Lamont wins the primary. Lieberman would instead run as an independent candidate. In order to make this happen, he has been collecting signatures and just yesterday founded his own political party. The name? I am not making this up. It's "Connecticut for Lieberman." Umm, Joe, thanks for the ammo.

Check out Ned's latest ad, even for those of you who don't have any interest in the race, you gotta admit it's pretty funny:
