It may be early in the morning, but Democrats are energized, including Ned Lamont, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. <\/p>\n
Lamont said he is ready for a fiesty, uphill battle. He said he understands that he is the challenger at this year’s convention, despite winning over some Democrats in a U.S. Senate race against incumbent Joe Lieberman in 2006.<\/p>\n
“I am the outsider,” he said. “It’s deja vu all over again.”<\/p>\n
Lamont lost the 2006 primary to Lieberman. This year, he is up against Dan Malloy for the Democratic gubernatorial endorsement. <\/p>\n
The state Democratic convention is being held at the Connecticut Expo Center. Party Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo called today’s meeting to order shortly after 9 a.m. <\/p>\n
