| Description | HARTFORD, Conn. - Democrats endorsed Sen. Joe Lieberman's bid for a fourth term Friday, but an anti-war challenger collected enough delegates to force the senator into his first primary fight as an incumbent.
Ned Lamont, a wealthy Greenwich businessman who has sharply criticized the moderate senator for supporting the war in Iraq, will face Lieberman in the Aug. 8 primary.
Lieberman won 1,004 of the 1,509 votes cast at the state convention. But Lamont captured 505 votes, or 33 percent of the delegates, well more than the 15 percent he needed to force the primary. |
