2006 SENATE CAMPAIGN In March 2005, Orman announced that he would challenge Lieberman for the Democratic nomination, saying Lieberman was disloyal to the Democratic party and supported the foreign policy of President George W. Bush . Orman's campaign generated support from bloggers across the country, but for a variety of reasons, he was never considered a serious threat to Lieberman. In September of 2005, he announced he was withdrawing from the race because of a lack of money. The end of Orman's campaign was followed by the campaign of businessman Ned Lamont . When Lamont came to Fairfield University in the spring of 2006, he told those in attendance that he was "picking up where John Orman left off." Lamont would go on to upset Lieberman in the Democratic primary in August, winning the party's nomination for the Senate seat with 52% of the vote, but losing the general election to Lieberman, who ran as an independent under the ''Connecticut for Lieberman'' party line.
