Lagniappe

While I am eager to see Ned Lamont win the Democratic Primary in CT from Holy Joe and will be horribly disappointed if he doesn't, the reality of the situation is that the left and progressives won the day when Joe realized that he was in deep guacomole and announced his intention to run as an independent. This was the defining moment in our march to return sanity to the political process and to let everyone know in the Democratic establishment that supporting the GOP's radical agenda and failing to present a unified front against it comes with a price.
Lierberman is just the most visible and significant example of the rising power of the netroots and the left blogosphere. Whether Lamont wins or not we will have made out statement that we are a force to be reckoned with.

Go Ned. I will be out of net touch all day in meetings and with clients for dinner after but I can't tell you how quickly I will be in from of the TV and laptop after. This is a big day for our side.
