Ned Lamont – General Promises
“Families still dream of a land of opportunity. With your vote this evening, we’re going to start to make your dreams come true.’’ (New York Times)
TRANSLATION:
Nothing like a come-from-nowhere primary victory to make you say crazy, general promises that would sound disingenuous any other night.
Lamont Campaign – Blogger Support
“Before this race even began, there was space for this to emerge — there were writers and thinkers online and people who were already engaged,” Mr. Tagaris said in an interview. “They found a voice, the national bloggers linked to the local bloggers, and they linked to the reality on the ground.” (New York Times)
TRANSLATION:
As long as the media focuses on the bloggers supporting Lamont they won’t focus on the fact that Ned has almost no public experience and is winning completley based on Lieberman hatred. Thank G-d for process stories.
Lamont/Lieberman Campaigns – More Primary Voters

TRANSLATION:
As far as the media goes, any news is good news. We can’t show any weakness, or else we’ll have the taint of a loser.
