Democrat Ned Lamont, seeking to erase Sen. Joe Lieberman's double-digit lead, is turning to his campaign's biggest financial backer for another infusion of cash: himself.
The multimillionaire businessman, who trailed by 10 percentage points in a recent poll, wrote a $500,000 check to his campaign this week, an aide said Tuesday. Just last week, Lamont had tapped his personal wealth for $750,000 to help fund the race. He has spent $6,751,500 of his own money to unseat the 18-year incumbent.
The Lamont camp said it needs the money to blunt Lieberman's aggressive television ad campaign; both sides are spending heavily on commercials. Lieberman has run ads recently suggesting that political newcomer Lamont lacks the experience to be an effective senator.
"Ned is not going to let Senator Lieberman's negative allegations go unanswered," said Lamont spokeswoman Liz Dupont-Diehl. "We've said all along we're not going to take this lying down."

Just another everyman.
Liberals sure have a nose for bad investments.
Lament...
That's what he'll be doing in six weeks. "Why did I ever dump that money on a lost cause?"
The way I look at it, anything that depleats leftist funding on a lost cause is a double win.
Vote for the GOPer and surprise everyone.
Anybody know how much a 30 second ad costs on either Channel 3 in Hartford or 8 in New Haven?
Looks like a recipient of those "tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans" we keep hearing about from Dems.
Probably ain't his money, bag money I bet.

double-digit lead... This is one of the biggest neener-neeners of the season.
Good for the local economy.
Can it be? Have even the MoveOn college kid PayPal accounts dried up for Lamont? No more 5 and 10 dollar contributions from the DUmmies? Chuck Shumer not answering the phone?
But...but...this was supposed to be a watershed moment in rat party history. Michael Moore said so.
Put some Butter or Oleo on Lamont , he is toast.
Think of how many starving he children he could have fed with all that money
(/bleeding heart lib mode off)
What is that old saying about pouring money down a rathole? Oh well, if Lament has nothing better to do with his money, so be it!
Hey, why not? It's his own rat hole.
True! And he is the RAT party's candidate.
Connecticut ping!
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
Lamont can't manage his own money, how can he manage taxpayer money?
