Tuesday Morning Roundup
- The New Britain DTC showed strong support for Ned Lamont at their meeting last night, reports the New Britain Herald:
The New Britain Democratic Town Committee has 31 delegates who will vote for a candidate at the party'’s convention in May. Echoing the sentiment of many at the meeting, delegate Phil Sherwood said Lieberman was "George Bush's favorite Democrat," and said he would vote for Lamont.
The one Lieberman supporter quoted in the article refused to identify himself on the record. It is pretty damn embarrassing being pro-Joementum these days. (Update: spazeboy, always on the spot, has posted video of the New Britain event at YouTube). - Paul Begala added his voice to the many on the right supporting the Lieberman-to-DoD move at an appearance with Pat Buchanan moderated by Leon Panetta in Monterrey, CA:
What, Panetta asked the two men, advice would they give President Bush if they were once again in the White House and held the president's ear?
"Fire (Defense Secretary Donald) Rumsfeld," Begala said, "and put (Democratic Senator) Joe Lieberman in."
"It's all about Iraq, he said. "A lot of this is survivable." Lieberman has been one of the strongest supporters of the war with Iraq, Begala said, a conflict that both he and Buchanan said they believe is a mistake. - Pam Spaulding, John Avarosis, Atrios, and Jesus' General all have something to say about Lieberman's dangerous stance on Iran. Gen. JC Christian sums it up best:
Joe Lieberman might have a "D" behind his name, but he's still Our Leader's most faithful servant.
- Update: A reminder, Ned will be in the Boston area today, including a house party in Jamaica Plain at 6pm. More info here.

I have video from Ned's appearance at the New Britain DTC last night up at the Ned Lamont Resource, for anyone who's interested.
A little bit about that Joe supporter...
One person who I believe is a member of the NB DTC spoke about how Ed and Keith were ushered out of a Lieberman meeting on April 9th. He also spoke about a questioner who was basically shouted down by others in the room. This incident caused this NB DTC member to say he was embarrassed to be a Democrat. (Ed is the man holding the sign which reads "Please rule out an independent run," in this video from the April 9 meeting).
At this point, a visitor and member of the Farmington DTC (the unidentified Joe supporter) spoke up in disagreement. He said that Ed (who was in attendance last night) has been following Joe around the state and stirring things up. I stuck around...and before I left, this unidentified Joe supporter had actually apologized to Ed.

How can Ed follow Joe around the state when he doesn't hold public meetings?
Joe has had one public outing so far this year, and Ed showed up to ask politely him a very pertinent question: Are you committed to the CT Democratic Party, and to our Primary.
The answer was, um, no. Joe has once again put himself before the Party as is threatening to wreck our fall chances. All because he is so damn arrogant. fwiw.
