Senate campaign could be a 4-way race

HARTFORD, Conn. -- The Connecticut U.S. Senate race could become a four-way
fight with the Green Party saying it has submitted enough signatures to
place a candidate on the ballot in November.

Ned Lamont is the Democratic candidate after beating Sen. Joe Lieberman in
the party's primary Tuesday. Lieberman is mounting an independent campaign
and Alan Schlesinger is the Republican candidate.

The Green Party of Connecticut submitted 13,000 signatures Wednesday on
behalf of Ralph Ferrucci, the party's candidate for the U.S. Senate.

They needed 7,500, but party leaders said in a statement that they wanted "a
buffer for any errors in petitions."

Ferrucci said his campaign launches officially at a fundraiser Friday night
in New Haven.

The Connecticut Green Party describes itself on its Web site as being
committed to grass roots democracy, social justice, nonviolence and
ecological wisdom.
