Lamont for governor
By ConnPolitics.tv Editor on Nov 4, 2009 | In News, News Commentary, Vote 2010, Ned Lamont | 27 feedbacks »
Ned Lamont talks with News Channel 8 on Election Day, 2006.
Leave it to Ned Lamont to get the political juices flowing just a day after Connecticut’s municipal elections. According to Paul Bass at the New Haven Independent and CTNewsJunkie, the former Democratic Senate candidate is planning to announce he’s forming an exploratory committee to run for governor.
Looking at his Facebook page and Twitter account and you see confirmation. They both say “Exploring a potential run for Governor of Connecticut in 2010.”
News Channel 8’s Mark Davis, who was already working on a story about the governor’s race, is tracking down Lamont to get the details.
So if you’re Jim Amann or Dan Malloy or Susan Bysiewicz, are you shaking in your fundraising boots or do you have an Alfred E. Newman ‘What, me worry attitude’?
In a statement Malloy said, “I’ve known Ned for many years and consider him a friend. I welcome him into the discussion about Connecticut’s future.”

As governor he will be sure the U.S. leaves both Iraq and Afghanistan just like Obama. LOL

NO!
I'll write his Republican competitor and former mayor of Derby Alan Schlesinger.

It's time to think big, and big money. Lamont is in the race and he's ready to try and buy this one as well.
Check your facts, there are two other candidates in this race. Don't forget about Gary "Jobs" LeBeau and Rudy "Everytown" Marconi. A year away from the election and you are writting these candidates off. And no, none of them should be shaking in their boots, the more the merrier. More ideas, more voices, more concern, and more people that have a shot against a clearly weak governor.

Lamont doesn't have a prayer! No way should he run. Jodi Rell is doing an outstanding job of cutting costs and that's exactly what I want her to do. I wouldn't vote for Ned Lamont 'cause I just don't like his politics!

Hopefully Dodd and maybe even Obama will come out in support of Lamont. The final nails in his coffin.

Oh great, all we need is another rabid left winger in Connecticut government. We should be cleaning house to get rid of them not encouraging them.. Their big government philosophy is the problem these days.
His strategy is to allow the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

Of the names you gave, if Ned was the person running against anyone on the other side____ I would vote for the other side

I wonder if he went back to the Greenwhich Country club after the election? He left there during the election, because it did not allow minorities. Oh well Ned has money to toss around. I guess he did not take notice of yesterdays election results. It's gonna be worse in 2010.

Capitalism has already caused society to fall into crisis and economic collapse.
Check please!
'I guess he did not take notice of yesterdays election results.'
Eh? Your data, it does not compute.

If lamont ever became governor, the State of Connecticut will be in the same financial state as California with his first 4 year term. The state will be paying it bills with IOU's and there will be a 10% surcharge on all payrolls. Electing this moron would be THE worse thing this state could do.

another idiot in the mold of john corzine and bloomberg and dodd who think they can just buy any job they want. Lamont ran on hate before and who will he focus his hate on this time. maybe himself.

Ned is trying to paint himself as an entrepreneur who supports small business. I have never met as successful business person with his left wing philosophy. It is like saying Satin is a practicing religious beliefs.

Ned is one of those in the Democratic Party who are being played like a fiddle by the left. Possibly he like Obama are simply puppets of the anointed ones in academia. Their philosophy is to destroy Capitalism and the freedom it offers while making us slaves under control of the government. They have targeted the Democratic Party over the years because the Conservative Republicans and many Religions are always ready to declaim the evils of public welfare, and they would probably be the first to raise a hue and cry.
Hence sympathetic and well meaning people in the Democratic party have by played like a fiddle. Most likely JFK and Truman would most likley be expelled from today's Democratic Party for have far Right ideals.

The only Lamont I liked was Fred Sanford's son Lamont.

Anyone who supports for him or votes from him should be stripped of their US citizenship and be deported.

Please no. Apparently Lamont's ego knows no bounds. Since he could buy his way into the Senate he'll try to buy his way into the governor's mansion. The only ones who should be shaking in their boots are the citizen's of CT if he actually runs and wins.

I'll consider voting for Lamont (or Malloy, or any of the other Democratic male candidates) ONLY if Susan Bysiewicz decides not to run.

Jodi Rell puts everything off, can`t make a decision just to make her look like a cost cutter and just prolongs the inevitable.
I am voteing for Lamont.

'I have never met as successful business person with his left wing philosophy. It is like saying Satin is a practicing religious beliefs.'
I see. So no business, in the history of time, has even been run by a 'liberal?' Interesting.
'Their philosophy is to destroy Capitalism and the freedom it offers while making us slaves under control of the government.'
The goal of the Democratic Party is the same as that of the Republican Party; stats quo. This means keeping capitalism as the main economic system, it allows for the continued oppression of millions, the destruction of our environment and the demeaning of humanity. Those on the 'far left' (something somehow Obama is coupled with?) want to rid themselves of Capitalism and Government, I am included.
'Most likely JFK and Truman would most likley be expelled from today's Democratic Party for have far Right ideals.'
Examples.

We need Rell as governor to keep the tax & spend democrats in check. We are the 3rd highest taxed state in the USA.
Lamont should run against Dodd if the dems want to keep that senate seat.

Can anyone explain why these multi millionaires (ie McMann, Corzine, Bloomberg, Lamont)want to run for office and assume an incredibly stressful job that pays less than they earn in interest every year?? Doesn't make sense to me. The governments, local, state and federal are so screwed up that they can't be fixed by one person, and no matter what, most of the career politicians who made the mess (Dems & Repubs)will be re-elected. If it's ego, they could probably find something more gratifying. They're not going to look like a hero no matter how well they do. Perfect example is Corzine, I disagree with his politics, but in his defense, he had to deal with a corrupt and disfunctional NJ state legislature, that was re-elected year after year after year. He was in a no win situation.
The one or two decent, honest elected officials we have might as well be shoveling manure against the tide

Ned has about as much chance of being Governor as he did when he ran for the Senate.
The only ones who will support him are the liberal lackeys and the anti war boneheads.
