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).

Friday Morning Round-Up
- One week to go until the convention. Petition, petition, petition.
- Some new video clips have been added to the official website. Expect much more innovative use of online video from the campaign in the coming days and weeks.
- Jon Chait's schizophrenic column continues to make the rounds in the papers and on the blogs, including locally in the Courant yesterday. Reading it over again in a more objective light, it's actually one millimeter away from being a full endorsement of Ned Lamont - and coming from the pages of Joe Lieberman Weekly, that's not so bad. Interestingly, it's the second such relatively positive piece TNR has run on Lamont in the last few weeks.
- Joe's campaign is now telling his Democratic constituents that he will "die a Democrat" in response to questions about whether he will run as an Independent if he loses the primary in August. He still refuses to rule out leaving the party this year, and, say, changing his voter registration at some point before he shuffles off this mortal coil.
- Joe Lieberman's Favorite President is now Mr. 29%. Mars, bitches, indeed.

I sent a letter to the Hartford Courant and just received a call that it may run Sunday or Monday:
===========================
To the Editor:
Jonathan Chait's article "Lieberman Deserves Boot - But He Shouldn't Get It" dismisses any Democrat dissatisfied with Senator Lieberman as a "crazed, ignorant ideological cannibal". I happen to be one of the dissatisfied, and several his adjectives do not apply.
The article carefully skips over Ned Lamont's actual positions, but instead attempts to smear him by association with his more extreme supporters. Yes, ideologues prefer Lamont to Lieberman, but that does not make him "left wing". He is, in fact, the centrist Democrat in this race. Mr. Lieberman now resides to the right of that; the "Fox News Democrat" has constantly undercut his party, and he should be replaced.
I suppose Mr. Chait still thinks Zel Miller is a great Democrat, too.
