Politics And Tech In Campaign 2006
With lawmakers at home campaigning, August presented a perfect opportunity for a special Tech Daily series on the intersection between politics and technology. Today's podcast covers this year's tech candidates, tech issues and tech tools and more.
The most visible congressional challenger thus far has been Ned Lamont, who this week defeated Sen. Joseph Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic primary.
Lamont successfully mobilized bloggers by attacking Lieberman's stance on the war in Iraq. He also pledged to match online donations to his campaign with cash from the fortune he made as the founder of Lamont Digital Systems.
Lamont won 52 percent of the vote to 48 percent for Lieberman, who now has vowed to run as an independent in the fall.
Listen to the podcast for more insights from our political package and for news from the tech policy scene.
