Ned Prevails In Primary

Update, 8/12

This just in..

John Edwards will be in New Haven on 8/17 to help Ned's campaign.

It's getting some nice attention on the blogs. Will list those tomorrow, 8/13.

I'm up early as I have to fly to the DC area in a few hours, but I see good news on the NYT:

Lamont Defeats Lieberman in Primary

Ned Lamont, a Connecticut millionaire whose candidacy for the United States Senate soared from nowhere on a fierce antiwar message, won a narrow victory in the Democratic primary last night over the incumbent, Joseph I. Lieberman.

and interesting snip

Mr. Lamont said that former Senator John Edwards, the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee in 2004, was the first Democratic leader to call him last night. Mr. Lamont also gave a prominent spot at a rally last night at his headquarters in Meriden to several African-American supporters, including the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Thanks, JRE. You were up late last night, I was not. Sorry about your plane not making it to the Helena rally, but you'll be in Bismarck today. Thanks for supporting Nick Lampson this fall in doing a fundraiser for him. The Texans will love him more!

Stay cool, all.

Sidenote to Bob on Crazy Politico, hope whatever your family problem is, it will resolve itself. My prayers are with you.

Go Ned Go! Democracy via netroots at work here. I love it!
