Thanks for posting this. Your blog made me feel like I was there, and the speech was terrific. I'm supporting Ned Lamont because he believes in choice. Firedoglake linked me to his campaign, and I'll contribute again on their ActBlue page.

Thank you for your efforts today to bring your world, and Ned's, closer for those of us all over the USA who support him and hope Ned wins.

Thanks guys, for keeping us desk bound folks up to date. It seems like we will get some fresh air this spring. (May we all combat Lieberman's hot air.)

Spazeboy,

Okay. The speech is over and the crowd is breaking up. You can read the prepared text of Ned's speech online at http://www.nedlamont.com/speech031306.html. As I noted before, Ned embellished the speech a lot and I would encourage you to check out any online recordings. I know that Politics TV is supposed to post a video of the whole announcement sometime soon.

More soon.

When asked about Chris Shays endorsing Lieberman, Ned said, Diane is a great candidate and I hope that everyone who came up here from Fairfield county remembers that.

"And we are going to show people on a hot day in August that we can win, not by being Republican lite but by being proud Democrats."

Ned is delivering a GREAT speech. Constantly interrupted with applause.

He is embellishing his prepared speech considerably.

2006-03-13T16:19:00.000-05:00

Now, Ned's mom is getting up to speak now. "I am Ned's mom and I urge you to vote for him" She talks about growing up in Puerto Rico and still trying to teach Ned Spanish.

She introduces Emily, Ned's daughter.

"Imagine all the people living life in peace" she starts off with.

She talks about talking politics with her dad when she was six.

The crowd goes wild as Ned comes in.

Max is still speaking. He makes comments about how Ned is not a pacifict. Ned understands that there is evil in this world, and someone yells out 'LIEBERMAN'. Everyone laughs, and then Max goes back to talk about how we need to make sure that if we do have to call up our sons and daughters, we need to make sure we do it right, only when needed and providing them with proper armor.

Now up, Max from the Bridgeport Board of Ed. He i...

2006-03-13T16:06:00.000-05:00

Now up, Max from the Bridgeport Board of Ed. He is talking about how Ned has volunteered at Harding High School in Bridgeport where he's taught.

Max goes on to talk about the importance of universal affordable healthcare. He talks about making medicare simpler, not more complex.

All our families deserve the opportunity to send students to clean and safe public schools, and that is based on funding public education, and not simply coming up with slogans.

Our U.S. Senator should spend more time in Bridgeport than in Baghdad.

Blow by Blow:

Lyn May is opening the announcement.
"I have been looking forward to this day since Tom Swan called me and asked me to get involved."

She says that here reason to be here is because of civil liberties.

Checking in from the Old State House. The energy here is incredible. People ahve printed up their own signs and are distributing them. The seats are pretty full and there are lots of people standing around the edges. The folks who are going to appear on the stage with Ned are standing by. Volunteers have been handing in projects. Politics TV is here and is recording interviews with various supporters.

The D'Amore signup is significant and welcome. Do you have any more info on Sean Smith who was recently hired to run the Lieberman campaign. Is this the same person who was a Kerry spokesperson in Nevada in 2004?
