Way back in February, in the very first post on LamontBlog, I wrote the following:

I hope this site will be a central clearinghouse for news and information relating to Ned Lamont's 2006 primary campaign vs. Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT). While this is certainly a pro-Lamont blog, be assured that this site is unfunded, unofficial, and unaffiliated with any campaign. (Any change to this will be noted prominently.)

Consider this a change that is being noted prominently. As of tomorrow (Sept. 5th), I will be taking an official position with the Lamont campaign with the internet department. I will be primarily doing production work behind the scenes, as well as some blogging on the official site. I am very excited about being able to help out in this new capacity for the next two months.

I will also continue to write on LamontBlog - with the campaign's permission - under a clear disclosure of my new position. All previous posts have been completely unauthorized by the campaign (though obviously, hardly objective). Since the day I started LamontBlog in February, the work I have tried to do here has been single-mindedly focused on getting Ned elected to the Senate. That obviously won't change now.

Looking back on that first post, written before Ned even officially announced his run, I also wrote this:

Opportunities such as this, both to change the party and to change the national conversation, do not arise often in politics. I hope to explain in detail in later posts why I believe Ned Lamont's candidacy presents just such a golden opportunity: why he should run, why he can win, and why the race itself will - win or lose - be a greatly positive exercise for both Connecticut and the nation.

I believe all of the above is true, and I believe achieving all of the above is possible.

I still believe all of this this is true, and more than ever, I believe it is possible.
