Disclosure: I worked for the Lamont campaign doing web design and production and some writing for the official blog (from 9/5/06 to 11/07/06).

Wednesday News Round-Up
- The entire spectrum of the blogosphere continues to react to the Shays endorsement and possible GOP cross-endorsement of Lieberman: on the right, CA Yankee talks about the relationship between Shays and Pelosi and Ex-Donkey Blog calls Shays a "liberal weenie" and sees Lamont benefiting, while on the left, Connecticut Blog notes the primary is turning into quite the drama already, and ShaysWatch lampoons Shays' contention that he has "a lot of clout" in Congress.
- Susan Page has a piece in USA Today examining the current anti-incumbent political atmosphere in the Senate, equating the primary challenges to Lieberman and Chafee (datelined from my favorite diner in the world). Typical flawed beltway analysis, but there are some good quotes. Lieberman says he's taking Lamont seriously because, "you might say that I got to be a U.S. senator because for the better part of an election year in 1988, the incumbent senator didn't take me seriously... I'm not going to make that mistake." Lamont says, "On a hot day in early August, whoever can get people who feel passionately about the issues is going to win," and is quoted addressing the Southbury Democratic Town Committee:
"Like a lot of you, I responded with a certain amount of pride when Al Gore asked Joe Lieberman to join him on the national ticket" in 2000, he says. "What a difference five or six years can make. It seems that Al Gore has really found his Democratic voice in that period of time, and Joe continues to lose his."
- Lamont's campaign office for the Fourth Congressional District is having its grand opening tomorrow evening, Thursday March 2nd, in Norwalk. Ned will be there for the event. Contact the campaign for more info.

Yeah, & Don't forget how the psychopath Ann Coulter went on national television, telling everyone how she wanted to hurt Shays for not voting to impeach Pres. Clinton, among other things. She also said *she* would challenge Shays, if she wasn't so busy being a political operative/pundit/lawyer for Paula Jones/& author of poison lettres.

Too bad, a Shays-Coulter race would have been insanely fun (or maybe funnily insane).
I have to say I agree with the right wing here... Shays is "a liberal weenie." He's more liberal than most GOP congressman, and a bigger weenie than most (remember his scaredy-cat warning to stay away from Times Square on New Years Eve a couple of years ago?)

Hey man, I'll take a liberal weenie over a rabid frothing at the mouth advocate of genocide like Ann Coulter. (By the way methinks I heard something about dear Ann committing some sort of vote fraud in Palm Beach.)

Ok, let me get this straight, even though there is nothing straight about all of this. Farrell (D) endorses Lieberman (D(?)) and v.v., who is in turn endorsed by Shays (R). Lieberman is playing hard to get with the Republicans, for the time being. And Shays sounds like an unrequited lover, or is he? Sounds like a three-headed opportunisitic beast to me.
