Obama Drama
posted on October 28th
The Lamont campaign yesterday had to “revise” its initial claim that the email Senator Barack Obama penned for Ned was sent to 5,000 people. In fact, Senator Obama sent the email only to a small group of 250 Connecticut voters who’ve also contributed to his own political action committee - HOPEFUND PAC. (We have great respect for Senator Obama and in fact, encourage our visitors to visit his website and make a contribution: www.hopefundamerica.com)
The Lamont camp, meanwhile, on Friday revised the figure it originally provided for how many Connecticut residents received an e-mail from Illinois Sen. Barack Obama urging them to rally behind Lamont.
A Lamont spokesman had said on Thursday that the e-mail from Obama, a prospective 2008 presidential candidate and rising party star, went to 5,000 state residents.
The spokesman said Friday the e-mail actually went to 250 Connecticut residents who are on Obama's list of supporters in the state. When Obama's e-mail was posted on a Lamont campaign blog, it received about 5,000 hits, the spokesman added.
We will leave it to others to determine for themselves why the Lamont campaign might feel the need to exaggerate the number of recipients of the email, or why the good Senator from Illinois might want to limit the size of the list itself.

"We will leave it to others to determine for themselves why the Lamont campaign might feel the need to exaggerate the number of recipients of the email...
We've lost over one hundred Americans in Joe's War this month alone.
I'm so glad Senator Lieberman is focusing on the important issues.
Did Obama sent any email to any LIE-man's supporters?
I'll leave it to the Democrats to wonder why.
We really haven't read ANYTHING about Lieberman's positions on this blog. It's all negative, all the time.
"we'll leave it to others..." ?? Barak Obama is a brave man to endorse Lamont over Lieberman, especially when Lieberman likes to claim he's "mentored" Obama...
PUH-leeeze.
Ned Lamont is the man. Obama knows it, Dodd knows it, Connecticut knows it. GOTV!
Good god, so fucking what??? Way to seize on the critical issues of the day, Bloe LIEman. Crikey.
