Ned Lamont e-mail

I wanted you to be one of the first to know that, this afternoon, I will be filing papers to establish a committee to explore a potential candidacy for Governor of Connecticut.

Since our 2006 campaign for Senate, I have continued to meet with citizens across our state -- as co-chairman of the Obama campaign in Connecticut, founder of a state policy institute at Central Connecticut State University, and as an outspoken advocate for health care reform. I have been constantly reminded during these conversations that Connecticut is not living up to its potential and that too many of our families are still being left behind.

Whether it has been health care and the economy, losing jobs, young people leaving the state, or the never-ending budget crisis, we have all seen our state head in the wrong direction.

Simply put, Connecticut's current Chief Executive is not getting the job done.

Over the next few weeks, I look forward to continuing these conversations with voters across the state. And I also look forward to hearing from all of you.

lieberman seems to be helping him out a lot by having people realize how better Lamont would have been for US Senator!

...but at least Governor will be a nice consolation prize for Lamont. Get 'em, Ned!

showing clips of Lieberman claiming he would fight FOR health care, and then clips of Lieberman saying that nothing would be better than the public option ...

get the loser, lieberman, in on this.

We have an excellent candidate in Susan Bysiewicz, our current Secretary of State. I think she is a much stronger candidate than Lamont with lots of managerial experience in state government. I'd rather see Ned take on LIEberman again.

yet. I think she would be most effective as governor of CT. Boy, do we need a strong executive in that office !
