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).

Thursday Morning Round-Up
- You can now "rock the boat" yourself by starting your own personal fundraising page at NedLamont.com. Take a look at Spazeboy's post on his excellent new blog for an example of how this works.
- The Courant reports on Ned's rock-star reception in D.C. yesterday:
It's one thing to be the darling of the liberal bloggers; it's another to pull bodies into a room.
Ned Lamont did that Wednesday as 350 progressive activists crammed a hotel meeting room to witness the Senate challenger's first big national appearance.
After basking in three standing ovations before, during and after his nine-minute speech Wednesday, Lamont was asked by his new-found fans to pose for pictures. - Mark Pazniokas at the Courant writes about the dual teachers union endorsement of Ned today.
- DemFromCT of The Next Hurrah discusses Lieberman's horrible campaign and predicts a Lamont win.
- Oliver Willis reflects the still-growing firestorm in the blogs about Chuck Schumer's statement that the DSCC would not necessarily support the Democratic candidate in November. If this comes to pass, it is going to hurt Chuck, the DSCC, and the national party a hell of a lot more than it will hurt Ned Lamont.
