If every dog has his day, consider the busy role-playing for the canine in Ned Lamont's campaign ad.

Lamont is challenging three-term Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman for the party nomination, criticizing the 2000 vice presidential nominee for backing President Bush on the Iraq war and voting for Republican-backed legislation.

In a 30-second ad, a dog barks at a Lieberman lawn sign, then an announcer intones, "He's been called President George W. Bush's lapdog. Out-of-step with the people of Connecticut. And a tool of the Bush-Cheney administration. Seems like everybody is mad at Joe Lieberman these days."

The dog quiets down as the Lieberman sign suddenly transforms into one for Lamont. "But never fear, good people of Connecticut, the underdog is here," the announcer concludes.

1. Clever!

Haven't seen this one yet. Saw the Lamont tv ad featuring his teenagers last night during an "Everybody loves Raymond" rerun. Nice! Glad to see Lamont is beginning to get attention in the State.

Woof, on the other hand, Lieberman's "Can't we still be friends even tho we disagree on Iraq?" ads are sooo lame. And how 'bout the one where he CLAIMS he's dedicated to protecting a woman's right to choose? Hmmm, I don't remember him putting up any fight against the nominations of Roberts or Aileto.
