(Came home to a nice message on my machine from Mr. Lamont. Very complimentary to our work here on Blue Hampshire and at the convention. Sure hope you run again 2012 Ned, Blue Hamsters will need a Senate race to support. - promoted by Mike Hoefer)
This afternoon Ned Lamont, former Democratic candidate for Senate in CT against Joe Lieberman, stopped by the Campaign for Change office to show his support, thanking volunteers and making phone calls to help Get Out the Vote in the last week of the campaign.
In 2000 we were out hustled. In 2004 we were out muscled with the Swift Boat attacks. Now, with the power of our volunteer base, we won't be out hustled or out muscled this year.
Lamont, who endorsed Barack during the primaries, is the Chairman of Connecticut for Obama. His CT group has sent over a hundred volunteers to New Hampshire every weekend for months, and Lamont has been acting as a surrogate for the campaign at local Chamber of Commerce debates.
"Everyone has their eyes on New Hampshire," Lamont said.
