Repost:

Just got home from my trip and must attend to family.

But this is my happiest day in politics. We’re gonnae win this primary and take over the Democratic Party. We ride a rising tide. ¡Si se puede!

Welcome home, Pach. Great coming home present, huh?

arigatou, sushi boy– your fish is old, tired, and much too warlike. we don’t want your steenkin’ fish, Mr. JoeBlowFish.

On probation until further notice.

I am enjoying this moment almost (but only almost) as much as I would enjoy seeing his karliness carried shackled from the white house lawn.

Joe sucked as a senator in the Clinton years, He sucked as a VP choice (he cost Gore the election) and he is at minimum an accessory to war crimes under the Bush junta.

Bye Joe - enjoy the peace in your retirement that you don’t deserve.

Here’s hoping that Ned Lamont gets old Holy ToadFace out of there, once and for all!

Hint, hint, hint: “Mad Adventures of Rabbi Joe,” movie poster. The hilarious Frech American farce from my youth being played out in real life.

If not now, when? If not FDL, who? Nuff said.

I’ll stop now.

As soon as the plane landed I fired up the Treo for an update (can’t use it in flight).

When I saw the news, I burst out laghing and everyone waiting to deplane turned to look at me. But I was disguised as Jerome so it was okay.

Great present indeed, Jane.

Better than Fitzmas, even, because Fitzmas is about someone else taking action to take down a perp, but this is about building a movement that will become large and will change the country. One is negetaive, and one is positive, and built on our own initiative.

We have work to do, but this is better than Fitzmas.

I must be missing something here. Ned challenging Joe hurts the party. But Joe declining to commit to supporting the winner of the primary helps the party how?

The song running through MY mind right now is, “Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?”

Granted, I am naive, but why does Joe assume he gets all the money for his race?

He gets to take questionable positions on key issues, and then keep the state money to fight for re-election.

Wow, what great coat-tails.

So we will need to gove not only to Ned Lamont but to Joe Courtney, Chris Murphy and Diane Farrell, all of whom, for reasons of self-preservation, endorsed Lieberman, There should be a uniformly recognized tag of .33 to add to the donation to indicate it comes from a Lamont supporter. (Obviously the .33 is for Ned’s 33%.)

Congratulations are due to Ned Lamont and his supporters. Lieberman — and all DINOs around the country — have to learn from this.

On the other hand — this isn’t very nice. Go to http://joelieberman.org

Please turn that sentiment into a post. Please.

The thing about Holy Joe is he has the remarkable ability to be even more offensive in defeat than he does in victory.

Ned’s our boy!We’ll back him all the way!How’d ya like to be the fly on the wall at the DLC?

Pach 13 — absolutely. As much hope as I have in the whole Plame case, I do worry when people put too much hope one person to save them to the exclusion of taking action themselves. This is a great day for progressives in this country and no matter what happens it is a wake up call to every Dem cowering before the Republicans — there’s now a price for appeasing them, too.

Pushback. It’s a thing of beauty.

Urban Pirate.

The money is in his campaign fund and he would have given some of it to others but now he will have to use it to try to beat Ned. Too bad… but the others have their own money. This is all part of the rules of the Washington Club.

emptywheel: Thanks, I will do that. Just not tonight. Got to get offline. Tough as that is right now. Tomorrow, I promise.

That’s a lot of Perch! Do you suppose it’s from George’s bestest day?

How deep is Holy Joe’s support really?

“Now we’ll get a chance to vote again in the primary,” said Montville delegate Candy Buebendorf, who voted for Lieberman, but remains uncertain about her continued support. “I’ve asked to talk with him. I need to ask him how can we know that we can trust him.”

As the Texas Rangers used to say, it’s hard to stop a man who’s right, and just keeps coming.

Good on the netroots for facilitating this. I don’t think it would have happened otherwise.

“The thing about Holy Joe is he has the remarkable ability to be even more offensive in defeat than he does in victory.”

Jane- after some research (see previous thread) I believe it is Southbury and not Simsbury- and the lamont site has now changed this from Simsbury to Southbury. http://lamontblog.blogspot.com/ FWIW. I would hate for any Southbury Dems out there not to be given due credit!!! What a great evening of internet TV watching the CT convention. Right up there with Colbert at WHCD. There were many more great introductory quotes from delegates, but this one was memorable.

oh yeah, “Fairfield “realizing that our country and Sean Hannity’s Favorite Democrat is going in the wrong direction” goes 18-6 Lamont.”

VG - I will update.

God I hate the way it’s all about the money!! “You shouldn’t challenge incumbents because then they will have less money to spend against Republicans”!?!? It’s like telling your football team not to practice, for crissakes!! Our Maryland Democratic Party Chairman, Terry Lierman, came out of the Dean campaign, and he encourages people to run against Democratic incumbents here in the state. He says, correctly, that it energizes voters, tests candidates, and engages new generations of people into the process. Granted, running for the US Senate is not the same thing as running for the state legislature, but you’ve got to be a mensch in this world! Whining about the money is just lame. Joe should be more upset about his lack of backbone and good ideas!

linky to Act Blue FDL Ned contribution page:

http://www.actblue.com/page/firedoglake

that election tonight was to secure the CT Democratic Party’s endorsement and support in the primary. The machinery (cash and people) is officially on Joe’s side.

Time to go to Stamford and do some bizness, you are right, Urban Pirate!! I am going to have to visit some unevolved and uninvolved friends and call in some favors… springtime and summertime in CT! Nice time of year to visit and chat.

Now that there’s a real democrat as an option for voters in Connecticut, I wonder just how quickly Lieberman’s support will dry up. Sure, he runs the machinery. But voters don’t need his dollars, so they’ll be likely to express their true feelings in upcoming polls. It will be quite telling to see how much Joementum there’s going to be.

…my sister in Connecticut says her neighbors are in shock!…this is the moment when the mist parts and the dems who betrayed us see the wave coming at them…change is here in this moment.

Joementum can spin it any way he wants, he was a loser tonight, and Lamont became a giant. One third of the votes against Liebo’s machine, by a political unknown, says something. Wait til we see how the actual grassroots–not the party insiders–vote in the primary. I can imagine Joe, after he loses, going crawling on his knees to Bush and saying, c’mon, about that secretary of defense positon, you promised me…and Bush saying, “I don’t know you, loserman.”

Now that is a wildly funny graphic. FDL has the best graphics that I’ve seen in the blogosphere.

Jane thank you very much at 8. That is one guy up with whom we should not put.

“Democracy? Never heard of it.” Keep cranking out the Jane-isms, we’re making a book. “Picking through the underwear drawers of Quakers” will go on the flyleaf. :>)

Suck it, Joe.

Hello future United States Senator Ted Lamont!

Adios Joe no-momentum Bush suck-up Lieberman!

Sort of gives new meaning to that kiss of death ole Joe planted on the faux Preznut Bush.

Did I miss a photoshopped pic of ole Joe with an L (loser?) forehead. Saw at least one mention here on fdl - sigh - we’ve been swamped helping keep a small brave art museum afloat.

Would love a link to the pic if anyone has it handy. Promised I’d send it to my kid who is far away in a midwest nursing school. Thanks!

I was listening closely as the delegates were announced, and it was definitely not Simsbury that mentioned the call to Joe.

Otherwise, great post! I love the Photoshopping.

Thanks *ilson. I thought that’s what a primary was for.

Other than his sleight of hand deal to save the superfluous to our national security but very important to the local economy sub base in New London, what has he done for CT? Not. one. dern. thing. NOT. ONE.

Oh, yeah. He took us to war– more money for DoD and terra. Ptooey.

OT and possible repeat:

The Rove Indictment Story as of Right Now

by Marc Ash, Executive Director - t r u t h o u t

Angie, I will be in CT one weekend a month til august bringing my son to see the gramps and do my own little bit to overturn Joe. We’ll have to meet up.

It’s pure speculation on my part but I’m betting that the excitement over Lamont will get more Dems than usual out to vote and that’s nothing but good news for the folks lower down on the ticket. Lieberman can take his funds and go home. He doesn’t play well in the sandbox with others does he?

Maura- that has been corrected in the post. Southbury.

Maybe the Netroots should up-the-ante for Joe just a little more. Perhaps we should start a campaign of pledges to give to the CT Democratic party for its other candidates during this election season. The catch will be that the pledge of money will not be acted upon or fulfilled unless Lamont is nominated as our candidate for this seat.

You’d probably have to set up the pledge site so that people’s pledge amount and charge card information would be already recorded in the event of a Lamont nomination, so that it could automatically be charged if/when Lamont wins. Send an e-mail/receipt at that time reminding the person of the pledge and notifying that Lamont won and that their pledge was now being charged to their account.

This would be beneficial in several ways: 1) It would show the party that Lieberman isn’t the only one with money or the organization to obtain money, 2) that Lieberman’s threats would be viewed in contrast to our example of generosity, 3) it gives the party and CT dems no reason not to dump Joe and vote for Ned if that’s what their Democratic heart’s true desire is, 4) it gives Ned and the netroots a greater access/influence in the CT democratic party apparatus, 5) It shows that, as we suggest with our support for a 50-state strategy at the DNC, we will not leave the state parties to languish for fighting the powers that be by supporting us… I’m sure there are plenty other benefits that such a campaign might yield, but those are the obvious ones off the top of my head.

(Article edited by SITE HELPER THIS HAS BEEN FIXED Due to your input. Thanks.)

I wish that there was some way to get out the word that donating to the DSCC is not so much about helping the Dems take back congress as it is about funneling money to re-elect incumbent Democrat senators. Theoretically, all of that money could be funneled into helping Lieberman beat Lamont in the primary.

Or is my understanding incorrect?

Even on this site, when the subject about how to support taking back congress in 2006 came up a couple of months ago, the recommendation was to support DSCC and DCCC. FDL has given us the means to become much more sophisticated in how we think. But we are small in numbers compared to the many well-meaning and like-minded people who do not read the blogs.

Looking oh so forward to it, Urban Pirate– a netsroots mixologist’s pride and joy– NY and NH goes back to their roots and then I have to go back to CA and VA which came before all of NE– that is why, this is for me, a NATIONWIDE campaign!

the primary selects the candidate of the party for the general election. the party may select and recommend a candidate in the primary. in Indianapolis, it’s called the “slating convention” and is usually key to winning. Few elections are Democrat-Republican competitive so whoever gets the party selection in a noncompetitive district wins. Sucking up )politicking) to the delegates (precinct committeepeople) is crucial ! This minimizes the role of money in candidate selection.

Sad & all too typical story in the LA Times today — Blake Miller, the Marine made famous by the “Marlboro Man” pic taken of him in Falluja, has been mustered out because of PTSD. After rotating out of Iraq, he was working on Katrina relief:

While aboard a ship off the Louisiana coast, Blake was taking a cigarette break when a petty officer made a whistling sound like an incoming rocket-propelled grenade. Blake says he remembers nothing about the incident, but was later told that he slammed the officer against a bulkhead and attacked him.

By November, Blake was forced to take a medical disability discharge.

Story is here.

thank you bob adams for your illustrative maps, to the community of fdl who supported ned, to jane, christy, and pac for this awesomelicious site and the netroots project, and to all the good people in connecticut who came out and did the right thing!

Pacifica,
I don’t recall any of us having much if any enthusiasm for the DSCC or DCCC. “We” are content to raise our own money for our own candidates. The DC3 and DSCC spend most of their money on the same tired consultants that lead us to defeat every cycle.

“We” are behind the DNC, read Dean and what he is trying to do in building up state dem parties. But as for Schumer and Emmanuel and the shell game that they are running, not so much.

But I don’t speak for the collective.

Personally I have made up fake checks that are returned to the two orgs above when they ask for $$.

The checks say that I am donating through the progressive blogs to candidates that show spine and stand for something.

Imposed democracy is a messy thing when it doesn’t go the way the king or his minions an-ti-ci-pated… purple rubber stamps don’t work so good when bombs are falling and blood is flowing and people are starving and dying and will never forget.

None of us– all over the world. ;(

I just did a bit of quick research. Connecticut is the third smallest state, coming in at 5018 square miles. It’s smaller than Hawaii, being only larger than Delaware and Rhode Island.

As for population, Connecticut is home to 3.4 million people, concentrated mostly on the coastal slope and the central valley.

As much money as Lieberman will spend on a remote air war from his cushy Bush-doting senate life in Washington, D.C., Ned Lamont should still have great success overcoming it by getting out amongst the voters as he has so successfuly done so far.

Mimikatz 17 — that’s a good idea. Where do we give?

Jeez, I leave for a few hours and come back to find the world’s been turned on its head! This is an unequivocal victory for both Ned and the workhorses in the netroots. Guess it’s time for me to bone up another $100 for Ned.

Jane and Christy - you deserve congratulations and a lot of thanks for keeping this man’s mission on the front burner at FDL. 10% inspiration and 90% perspira…. well, you know. It was painful to see Ciro lose his primary. But this doesn’t feel pie-in-the-sky anymore. It really feels like the goal is in sight.

FYI - we’ve got a fantastic Democratic upstart in Washington’s 8th district named Darcy Burner who can take Dave Reichert down and turn that into a blue seat with the help of the netroots. If you can, please support her.

Congrats to Christy, Jane, Pach and the other posters here who have done FDL proud by ignoring Jason Leopold. Few people are more contemptible than purveyors of false hope.

So this makes Ned an official opponent of Holy Joe and puts his name on the ballot for the primary. This is still gonna be a tough fight, right? Is this truly stacking up to be a perfect storm that will vanquish Holy Joe and sweep Ned to victory?

I first learned about the DSCC and DCCC from FDL comments in response to requests about what we could do to change things. The landscape has changed dramatically since we were first waiting for Fitzmas. There has been a dramatic shift here from words to actions. While I am sure that I am not at the forefront of those changes, I am far from the rear.

Oilfield Guy - We can’t take anything for granted. Perfect storms don’t just happen. We gotta keep on this one, and not let up. That’s the long, hard slog of grassroots.

The Lieberman camp strikes back:

“Sean Smith, Mr. Lieberman’s campaign manager, waved off suggestions that Mr. Lamont’s showing was surprising. He said the senator’s campaign had expected as many as 40 percent of the delegates to vote for Mr. Lamont, who had spent about $500,000 of his own money on the race through mid-May. “He pumped half a million of his own money to try to buy this convention,” Mr. Smith said.”

JWR #93:
He said the senator’s campaign had expected as many as 40 percent of the delegates to vote for Mr. Lamont

You know, a prediction doesn’t have quite as much punch if you forget to mention it until afterwards… </snark>

Holy Joe don’t know nuthin’ about old-fashioned Democratic efforts. He won’t even hold town meetins with his constituents anymore.

JWR,

“He pumped half a million of his own money to try to buy this convention,” Mr. Smith said.”

So he’s saying it’s all about money, isn’t that telling. And the “convention” is FOR SALE, evidently, according to him. Following that logic, Joe spent MORE and therefore won the most votes. Nice.

Why has this lemond guy been muted? I’ve been pretty busy this evening, but read the prior thread about Mr. Lamont’s victory. Congrats to Mr. Lamont. I also saw the comment from this lemond guy….didn’t really move me or influence me. But I always enjoy an alternative voice for analysis.
And now…in comment #8 here….his comment is removed? Why? If he posted something favoring his candidate, Lieberman…why stifle him? Now, if he wrote ugly things (you know, he used the “N” word or so forth), then fully understandable.
But if all he did was disagree with the candidacy of Mr. Lamont….then I am troubled by such censorship. I am curious, but so far, withholding judgment.

A Windsor delegate:

“Joe Lieberman is an icon in Connecticut,” said Al Simon, 46, a delegate from Windsor, which passed a resolution this year censuring the senator for his position on Iraq. “For this to happen is indicative of the depth of anger felt by a lot of rank-and-file Democrats against Democratic leaders.”

A Lieberman delegate:

“Now we’ll get a chance to vote again in the primary,” said Montville delegate Candy Buebendorf, who voted for Lieberman, but remains uncertain about her continued support. “I’ve asked to talk with him. I need to ask him how can we know that we can trust him.”

Giving DiFi a scare to get her on track would be good. Unfortunately, I don’t believe there is any Lamont opposing her for the primary although there should have been one. I’ve never liked DiFi. She is so much like Joementum.

Piece was surpringisnly ‘fair and balanced’.

They did point out Lamont a ‘millionaire’ spending some of his own money; didn’t mention Joes’s finances.

Lamont:”I don’t WANT to be the underdog. I AM the underdog.”

Also, he nderlined CT voters want to send a Senator to hold GWB feet to fire.
