08/09/10 More Bad News For Greenwich Millionaire Ned Lamont's Failing Senatorial Campaign

The Millionaire Emperor Has No Clothes ....

Ned Lamont Is Furiously Flushing Money Down The Toilet As More Bad News Keeps Rolling In From The Pollsters At Quinnipiac University

Q Poll: Too Close To Call Between Lamont, Malloy In Primary‎

Hartford Courant

Quinnipiac Poll: Ned Lamont Up By 3 Points, But Too Close To Call Vs. Dannel Malloy In Democratic Primary Tuesday

The latest Quinnipiac Poll shows that Democrat Ned Lamont is ahead by 3 percentage points over former Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy, but the race is too close to call because the margin of error is plus or minus 4.6 percentage points......

.... Both Republicans and Democrats also say that Lamont suffered a setback when he initially refused to debate Malloy in the final weeks of the race in a one-on-one, televised debate .....

....The poll of likely Democratic voters shows Lamont ahead by 45 percent to 42 percent, which is closer than the 45 to 40 lead that he had last week. Overall, 30 percent of those polled said they could still change their minds before Tuesday's vote, and 12 percent said they were still undecided.

"The poll reflects what we're seeing and hearing every day on the campaign trail: Dan's got the momentum,'' said Dan Kelly, Malloy's campaign manager.....

....As multi-millionaires from Greenwich, both Lamont and Foley have enough money to air commercials in the highly expensive New York City television market. That is part of their strategy to reach voters in lower Fairfield County as the New York stations are beamed from Greenwich to Bridgeport and beyond. Many candidates are unable to afford New York television, and some believe it is a waste of money as the commercials are often seen by viewers in places like Brooklyn and Long Island who cannot vote in Connecticut. But Lamont, Foley, and U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon are all broadcasting commercials on the New York stations.

"It's really the only way to reach a broad audience in Fairfield County because 35 percent of the Republicans are in Fairfield County,'' Foley said in an interview. "We think it's a good investment for the general election.''

Foley said Saturday that he believed that Lamont has an advantage over Malloy because of the New York City commercials, but he agreed that the race is getting much tighter.

"It could be a jump ball, and he's up in New York and Malloy isn't, so it's his to lose,'' Foley said

PLEASE SEE:

Greenwich Roundup, $9,118,582.14 That’ s the amount that Ned Lamont has spent so far on his Gubernatorial primary campaign. As Dan campaigns across the state, voters are making their choice. They are making a decision based on values and experience. They are choosing which candidate can lead from day one, and who can help turn Connecticut around. They are choosing which candidate can fight for the middle class, protect our seniors, and make this state great again. They are choosing Dan. Help keep this momentum alive. Can we count on you to volunteer on election day and one time before? Sign up today. Ned feels it, and knows that if voters make a choice based on values and experience, Dan wins. His response? Pour in money. As voters learn more about Dan and Ned, they are supporting Dan in droves. Ned realizes that, and just last week alone, put in $1,750,000 of his family’s money. Help us fight back. Your help can make sure that this is an election, not an auction. Join our election day team today. Ned enjoyed a lead when the campaign was about money, when his millions helped him campaign in a vacuum, before voters could make a choice based on both candidates values and experience. Once Dan had the resources and grassroots support to make this a race about values and experience, Ned’s lead has evaporated. Dan is in a position to win. Help us finish strong and get the message out these final days. Please sign up today to join our election day team, and volunteer one time . Sincerely, Dan Kelly Campaign Manager Dan Malloy for Governor PS - You should be proud of all that you’re doing.. I sure am.

My primary opponent will still vote for bailouts, mandates, and continued federal intrusion into our lives.But we have a choice, with your support today you can send someone who is ready, willing, and able to defend liberty to the US Congress. I will stand with Congressman Paul and other true Conservatives in our shared fight to restore the Constitution and push back our increasingly tyrannical government. Last week you helped me raise $7,459 toward my $10,000 goal. I am asking you to help me close that gap and reach our goal by raising another $3,000 before Tuesday. Your support is invaluable. Your donation of $50, $100, $500, or more will go to help pay for ads and phone calls to remind Republicans to vote for me on Tuesday. Thank you for your continued support. P.S.
