Here’s how our MySpace effort is different than other campaigns who have used it unsuccessfully or solely for free media. MySpace and FF&N are basically based upon the same premise … keeping in contact with your friends. Add to that the fact that most MySpace users have a number of friends who live in similar geographies. If we can get 250 people total using FF&N on MySpace, each sending a personal postcard via snail mail (on our dime!) to 20 people, and then you follow-up and get them to the polls voting for Ned … that could be as much as 2% of the vote we need to win on August 8. And in what will be a close election, 2% from MySpace is a big deal, and could be what puts us over the top. Imagine if we could get even more people using MySpace to participate in FF&N!

Lieberman is learning a lesson inflicted here on George III: mercenaries are no match for passionate volunteers. Lieberman is having to pay for what Lamont gets for free: troops. They are calling friends and neighbors in phone banks around the state that the campaign has no trouble filling. In many ways, it's an old fashioned campaign.

Connecticut politicians love lawn signs. And they are everywhere for Lamont. The Lieberman campaign woke up recently to find itself badly behind in the anecdotal war over how many signs each side could plant. His campaign had to deploy majordomo and longtime aide Sherry Brown to gin up the lawn sign effort. It was a sign of the parlous state of his campaign that Brown made calls and delivered individual signs to supporters. Picture Susan Estrich stopping at your house in 1988 to stick a Dukakis sign in the grass. Dire is the word that comes to mind.

Luckily, the last week of the primary campaign will see a boost in Lieberman volunteers. Friends and former staffers and friends from Washington plan to invade the state to tell Connecticut Democrats that they should not turn their backs on saintly Joe Lieberman. That always goes down well with the natives. Lanny Davis and the Washington establishment providing pious testimonials for their man, what a week it will be. Maybe Sean Hannity will pitch in with some encomiums. At least Imus, a registered Republican, does it with humor and lives here on the weekends.

If that's the best Lieberman can do it explains why he looks so forlorn at the snootful of democracy he's getting.
