HARTFORD, Connecticut (Reuters) - Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman (news, bio, voting record) lost a Democratic Party showdown to a relative unknown on Tuesday, a casualty of voter anger over his support for the war in

President George W. Bush.

Lamont's win offered vindication to the army of grass roots
Internet activists who rallied around his campaign and provided
volunteer muscle and energy for the cable television executive

Lamont spent more than $3 million of his own money and a
total of $5 million on the campaign, although he was still
outspent by Lieberman's $7 million campaign.
