Obama and Lamont [Greg Pollowitz 10/27 09:11 AM]
AP Headline: Lamont gets lift from Obama
The reality of the lift:
HARTFORD, Conn. —Ned Lamont got a boost Thursday from one of the Democratic party's brightest rising stars, Sen. Barack Obama.
The Illinois senator and potential 2008 presidential candidate sent an e-mail message to his Connecticut supporters urging them to rally behind Lamont's challenge to three-term Sen. Joe Lieberman.
"Ned Lamont has waged an impressive grass roots campaign to give the people of Connecticut a choice in the November Senate election," Obama wrote. "Please join me in supporting Ned Lamont with your hard work on-the-ground in these closing weeks of the campaign."
The Lamont camp said Obama's e-mail went to about 5,000 Connecticut residents.
Wow. He hit "send".
The junior senator from Illinois has seen just one of his bills enacted into law since becoming a US Senator almost two years ago.
