For the remaining days until the Connecticut primary pitting Joe Lieberman against Ned Lamont I will post something daily on the events there. I hope you have all been following closely. It’s just about the most exciting contest we are likely to see for a while. Even if Lieberman squeaks it out against Lamont it is clear that new forces are coming into play in the Democratic party — evidenced by the trotting after Joe by almost every pooh-bah with a (D) after hiser name [”Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., made his pitch for Lieberman in both Spanish and English at the Iglesia Cristiana Buen Pastor… Later, U.S. Sens. Joe Biden, D-Del. and Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, campaigned with Lieberman at other events. Bill Clinton has also lent his support (finger in the throat gesture)]. I get why they are there — covering their donkeys so to speak, in case Joe wins. It’s fairly nauseating nonetheless.

There is palpable excitement in the air over Lamont and a show of interest and strength from newcomers and old hands [Maxine Waters, my candidate for Queen for a Month, put in an all out effort for Ned] ready to brawl over how decisions are made about representing the people of Connecticut, and by implication everywhere in the nation.
