08/04/10 The Raw Ned Lamont News Feed: Top Story Greenwich Roundup Poll Says Ned Lamont's Lead Over Dan Malloy Has Vanished.

NEW POLL: Greenwich Resident Ned Lamont's Has No Local Lead Over Former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy In The Upcoming Democratic Primary On Tuesday

Since Monday Greenwich Roundup has informally interviewed 22 Greenwich Democrats and was shocked to learn that only 3 said that they were voting for Ned Lamont.

Nine Greenwich Democrats seemed unaware that that the Democratic primary was to be held in just six days.

Of the 22 Greenwich Democrats interviewed only six said that they were voting in the primary and all of these Democrats said they are voting for Stamford resident Dan Malloy.

Greenwich Roundup did not find any Greenwich Democrats who were unsure or sitting on the fence when it came to Ned Lamont or Dan Malloy.

The Greenwich Roundup poll has found that Greenwich Democratic voters are strongly committed to sticking with the party nominee.

It appears that Ned Lamont's only hope of squeaking out a win is in other more liberal metropolitan areas like Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford.

Even though the the Greenwich Roundup poll probably has error margin of plus or minus 98% due to it's small size.

However this reporter / slash pollster was shocked that there was virtually no support for Ned Lamont in his own hometown of Greenwich.

The front runner in previous polls was Greenwich businessman, Ned Lamont who has a largely self-funding his campaign. Mr. Lamont has promised to use his business experience to fix
Connecticut's stagnant economy and a projected deficit next year of $3.4 billion.

Dan Malloy who is a Stamford resident and an experienced elected official, is casting himself as ready to the do the job.

Dan Malloy was mayor of Stamford for 14 years and just received $2.5 million in public financing and has used that money to quickly close in on and possibly overtake the wealthy Ned Lamont.

Ned Lamont is probably anticipating that a new
Quinnipiac University poll being made public Thursday will disclose what he has most likely been seeing in private polling

Former Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy is coming on fast and hard in the last days of this
primary election.

This has happened before. Ned Lamont spent $17 Million on his Senate campaign against
Joseph Lieberman only to come out a loser in 2006.

The big question now is....

Will History repeat itself?

Political insiders are saying that Ned Lamont has probably spent 7 to 9 Million an a primary election that he just may lose in six days.

Maybe Ned Lamont still has a chance.

In the the final gubernatorial primary poll in 2006, when Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy was running against New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, Dan Malloy was down by 7 percentage points and then days later, Dan Malloy lost by 1.5 percentage points.

It looks like we will know if Ned Lamont wasted another 9 Million bucks on Tuesday night.

All told is looks like Ned Lamont will have spent well over 25 Million on two self funded Connecticut political campaigns.

That is an awful lot of money could have been used to feed a lot of hungry children or provided educational opportunities to the disadvantaged.

08/03/10 GREENWICH BRIEFING: Richard Blumenthal

This Just In To The Greenwich Roundup Newsroom......

Connecticut Attorney General, Richard Blumenthal, posed in his Greenwich home, Monday, March 8th, 2010.
More than 20 years ago, Ned Lamont was already thinking about his legacy. He didn't want to be remembered simply as the guy who put up the most satellite television dishes east of the Mississippi River.

Connecticut Post Says Fedele The Choice Among Republicans
Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele has the combination of government and business experience that, given the chance to serve in the No. 1 seat, would be good for the state of Connecticut.
The Connecticut Post endorses his candidacy in the Aug. 10 Republican three-way primary.
The 55-yearold Fedele brings 10 years of legislative experience, serving in the state House of Representatives from 1992 to 2002, and three years in his current position.
But Fedele is also a self-made businessman and understands that job creation is the top challenge to the state.
Fedele understands in no uncertain terms that improving the atmosphere in Connecticut for small business is essential to turning around the state's economy.
His stand against any new taxes speaks to his understanding of the situation.
We compliment him for his position.
Given his experience, Fedele is confident solutions to the state's problems of spending and borrowing can be resolved through good management, and not through new taxes.
Though Fedele has been part of the Rell administration ... well, that in some respects sums it up.
It was indeed the Rell administration, and if anyone can name a Connecticut lieutenant governor who shaped policy from that office, we'd be curious to know who it was.
Fedele rightly says he can be held accountable only for those areas in which he had authority.
He's been an effective ambassador for the state, recruiting business and reaching out to the Henkel Corporation, manufacturer of Loctite adhesive products and successfully encouraging them to consolidate operations in Rocky Hill.
Fedele also figured in the move of Columbia Elevators from New York to Bridgeport.
We also applaud Oz Griebel, another candidate in the GOP primary, for his passion and clear commitment to improving the business climate in the state.
And Tom Foley brings a business background as well.
But he also brings some unpleasant baggage to the race.
But Fedele earns our endorsement.
We believe he's the best of the three choices to lead the state.

Whether battling a blaze, rescuing someone from a car crash, or just sitting around the fire house, Whitney Welch has proven she is tough enough to hang with the guys of the Greenwich Fire Department .
Municipal leaders from Greenwich to Weston are hoping state officials will recognize their coalition to seek federal money for public works, transportation and other economic development projects designed to promote responsible growth in the region.

08/02/10 Dan Malloy's Campaign Manager, Dan Kelly Has A Message For Greenwich Resident Ned Lamont: "It's Working""


DAN MALLOY FOR GOVERNOR
Greenwich Roundup,

Like this campaign on Facebook


It’s been a busy week on the campaign trail, and these last days have made one thing abundantly clear.
What we’re doing is working.
In the past week, Dan earned the endorsement of the Hartford Courant, New London Day, Connecticut Post, and Norwich Bulletin. Leaders like Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney and Representative Chris Caruso have endorsed Dan. Our canvasses and phonebanks are larger than ever, and we’re thrilled to see Ned Lamont caving to the political pressure and joining Dan in a debate!
Your phone calls, your canvassing, and your efforts will make the difference and will put us over the top on election day. Can we count on you to volunteer on Election Day and one day before?
This race is competitive and will likely be decided on by only a handful of votes. With only a couple hours on the phone or knocking on doors, you can make all the difference and help put us over the top on August 10th. Volunteering on election day and one day before can make the difference.
There is a clear difference in the race; we are fighting


Dan Malloy
