Ned is gaining delegates

[connecticut yankee]

So far --

Cornwall - 1 (out of 1)
Greenwich - 16 (out of 22)
Ridgefield - 8 (out of 11)

Also, 5 out of 6 Weston delegates voted to NOT support Lieberman. They have not committed to Lamont yet, but time will tell.

If you hear of any other towns, please post them.

I believe he needs 271 to have the primary.

1. I think there's going to be a lot who won't come out publicly

but will vote for Lamont when the time comes.

A West Hartford representative made a similar comment but I forgot his name.

2. I believe we will have 3 or more of our 6 for Lamont in Granby.

We put the major discussion on Lamont off until our April meeting... But most can not support Lieberman!

Keep working on them!

4. those wealthy towns...

6. Ned is from Greenwich

and is a former Selectman.

I think Lieberman is more popular with the Repukes than the Dems, but he's never been challenged before. I've heard grumbling about him for years, so it's time for a serious confrontation. Let's hope it succeeds.

7. I realize Ned is from Greenwich

However, in the past, Lieberman has gotten a lot of his money from the New Haven to the NY border corridor. It's good to see those folks now against him.

5. That's good news.

8. is that IT? The nominations are in May I believe

9. The Convention is on May 20,

if Ned gets 15% of the delegates, there will be a primary.

If he doesn't, he can have a primary with 15,000 petition signatures.

10. informal delegate poll taken at a Litchfld County Dem event 4/1:

Ned: 8
Lieberman: 11

Not bad for a first-timer to politics.
