Fucking AMAZING.

I want to say a special "thank you" to CTKeith and DeanFan84, who beat the "Dump Joe" drum online and really started this movement way back as early as the Democratic presidential primary in 2003.  Activists from DFA in New Haven, Norwalk, and around the state took the chance to dare to speak against Joe Lieberman and MADE THIS HAPPEN!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

If more than 1 in 3 insiders want change, Lamont is has the potential to get 50%+1 of Democrats! This race is for real!

Is it just me of does DeLauro look a lot like Jean Schmidt?

Freakin' sweet.

This summer should be extremely fun. I'm going to check my bank account balance and see if I can toss Ned some green right now.

The Blogosphere wins one! Hot damn. Made my night. Great coverage Matt and Tim!

Actually , this would be two. Chris was first.

Better get used to it Beltway people. This is our party too.

If Ned can get 33% of the party insiders, he could easily get over 50% of the Dem. voters.  The insiders (especially in the biggest cities) are part of Joe's machine in many cases.  The smaller cities sent a message to Joe (and to the rest of the national Dem. party): we don't want Sean Hanity/George Bush loving Dems representing us.

This is a fight worth fighting.  I'll send some more $$.

I've been chastised over at Kos.  They say Lamont won by '33.5%'.

0.33465871438038436050364479787939 -- you know.

It's been a real pressure knowing you.

This is promising.  If we could just get one real win, instead of an almost...  Maybe this could be it.

Oh yeah, and a special thank you goes out to Joe Lieberman, who in those last final calls to delegates surely flipped a bunch of them Lamont's way.

Shades of the Presidential primary, when any campaigning Joe Lieberman did primarily hurt Joe Lieberman.

Maybe Ned Lamont should pay for Lieberman's travel expenses to barnstorm the state. Ol' Joe will be down in Rick Santorum approval land in no time ...

What's stunning about this is that even the Lieberman attempts at making people overoptimistic about Lamont's chances had him at 30ish, iirc.  I don't know too much about CT politics, but that seems like an absolutely stunning, stunning victory for Lamont.  Lieberman must've had no idea what was going to hit him.

This was one of the most exciting nights I have had!     My throat still kills me from screaming.     Even Lieberman people were sneaking food from Lamont, it was the best.    

Tonight sent a message.    All Democratic Politicians should beware, that we are going to take our party back, and the days of doing whatever they want is over !     (Look out Hillary!)

I appreciate all the hard work done by the volunteers who made this happen. It's easy for us to blog here, but only those were on the ground were the ones needed to make this happen.

and another thing.......
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

Well, looks like this campaign has more legs than I thought. Congratulations.

I however, as a non-resident of Conneticut, am choosing to remain non-partisan in this debate. I will however make an appeal to everyone to go to the netroots campaign page and donate some coin, especially to Tester and Busby seeing as their elections are next up.

I also read Daschle's bid for the presidency depends on how his canidates do int heir primaries and one of them is Morrison, so go donate to Tester and help keep Daschle unemployed.  :-)

Also, Busby will need coin, this election will decide November for the insiders, activating or deactiving the base and funders for each party. Cook political report changed their ranking on it today to toss-up.

Congrats to those who worked tonight.

Good on you Conn.

Lieberman today. Tomorrow Cantwell

I just sent another $50, and will send more when I can, great job folks..

Connecticut is the right place, Lamont is the right messenger and this is the right time to make a stand within the Democratic Party.  Nothing will strike more fear inside the Dem. establishment then the fight brewing in Connecticut.  They will be talking about this one in the cloakroom, the green rooms and in the most exclusive club in the world.

That Senate seat is not going to go to a Republican.  There are sure to be great things emerge from the Lamont Campaign, I can feel the spirit even here, deep inside the heart of darkness well inside the Washington beltway.  At a book event tonight in DC Markos "Kos" Moulitsas, wearing a Lamont button, took great pleasure in announcing some preliminary results from the CT convention.  Now that Lamont has crashed the insider gate it is time to talk to the voters who don't blog but who are bearing the brunt of the thousand points of failure of the Bush administration.  

Senator Lamont?  Why not?  A change in going to come.

A change IS going to come.

Excellent, excellent job guys!

Ho'Joe must be squirming. I love the thought of Droopy Dawg crying into his cornflakes ... Maybe his man crush Sean Hannity can help him out.

33.4 and 64.5 do not add up to 100.

505/1509 = 0.334658....

That rounds up to 33.5 percent, since 6 is more then 5, you round up.

In Colorado the party activists, i.e. those willing to attend a state convention are more liberal than the party establishment, and probably more liberal than the primary electorate.

Does this mean that in CT the delegates to the convention are more "in-the-pocket" of the establishment?

I wouldn't actually say that the rabble rousers have taken over in CO, but maybe the establishment has less of a hold on things...

Way to go Netroots!!!

Go NED LAMONT!!!
