With a $5 million war chest, Joe snipes at Ned for being wealthy

Lieberman called for politics that rises above partisanship and personal attacks. Then he took a swipe at Lamont's personal wealth, accusing him of trying to buy a Senate seat. The Lamont campaign estimates his wealth at between $90 million and $300 million. Lieberman joked about how not too many other people in Connecticut "don't know if they're worth $90 million or $300 million" and said Lamont could probably buy more than one seat in the Senate with that kind of money.

The Lamont campaign has responded that Lieberman is outraising and spending them by 3 to 1 thanks to corporate contributors.

"Ned's not going to have to go to the Senate to become a millionaire," Lamont campaign manager Tom Swan said later Monday. "His wife's not going to have to become a lobbyist. His kids aren't going to be on the payroll."

Stange attack considering it was Lieberman's convention tent that had uniformed wait staff, an open bar
and "goody bags".
