Live from the Garde - Debate Night

CGG, Turfgrrl and I are here at the Garde Arts Center in New London. I'm currently in the press filing room. The pre-debate show put on by the Lamont campaign was pretty impressive: at about quarter to seven, a horde of Lamont supporters, probably over a hundred, marched up State Street, led by a bagpipe band.

I will try to post pictures as they are available. There is a problem with the wireless in the building, apparently.

How disappointing in the blog.

What I just saw was a spineless Ned Lamont refuse to stand up to his supporters and ask for respect. Agree or disagree with Joe Lieberman, he deserves his time and his respect to present his case. That was one of the most disrespectful performances I have ever seen, and shame on Ned Lamont for making Alan Schlesinger stand up and quiet his supporters like that. He should be ashamed.

Dick Cheney in-state this evening (Greenwich) and zero press....so much for the in-tune media and blogoshpere.

the people being rowdy in the audience were not lamont supporters. They have been identified as just indivduals who were just to disrupt Joe. This is a fact by security at the debate.

Connecticut Bob is reporting that the singers were Larouche people.

MikeCT - An anonymous source on Jane Hamsher's website and you think it's true??? Give me a break.

I am NOT a Lieberman supporter, but I do know the Senator. He simply does not talk like that.

Just how desperate are the Lamont supporters?

You've spent the last 2 weeks anonymously blogging that Alan Schlesinger is a great candidate, and now you are lying about what Lieberman is or is not saying.

Jeeze. Get a life!
