Don't believe the B.S. about Lieberman "throwing in the towel".
The people on the ground are seeing something very different:

Except according to people on the street, that isn’t what’s happening. Rather than take dictation from Marion Slimefels, we contacted folks who actually took the time to check out the claim. Maura visited the Stamford office for Lieberman this morning, and has this to say:

I drove by the LieberOffice in Stamford and even pulled into the parking lot to get a look at what’s going on, and it’s PACKED with LieberShirted people. Just as much or more activity than usual. I also passed two LieberShirted people on a sidewalk in another neighborhood when I was driving to the dentist this morning, so I assume they’re still out strong canvassing.

It could be he’s considering Stamford the Last Stand for Lieberman, but it seems unlikely that he’d still have so much activity here and none anywhere else.

And in Hartford, TrueBlueCT says:

I went to the New Haven office this morning and I spied Rosa DeLauro’s campaign manager — she loaned out her field people to Joe for the race. And they know New Haven better than anyone. The Lieberman kids were running in and out, "give me new lists" — they give them a street at a time. They go, they do the street, they come back, thumbs up, they go do another street. I saw 50, 60, 70 people coming and going. They’re not rolling over.

1. I don't.
And I hope nobody else who supports Ned Lamont believes it, either. We need all the votes we can get next Tuesday!

3. I agree. We can't let our guard down.
This is not a done deal.

4. Heck no, don't let up now
This race has America's attention -- kick Lieberman's ass so far into the weeds that he won't dare talk about running as an Independent. End this nonsense.

And hey, there was a thread during the day that talked about how to hook with the Lamont campaign. I can get up by train to bridgeport or other cities so interested in doing my part this weekend. Please point me to that thread if you can.

5. Get out and VOTE on Tuesday! I wish I could have the honor of voting for
Lieberman's ouster.
But be careful not to get too cocky, y'all...every vote counts (and we know this 'cause Diebold won't be involved).
Go Ned!!

7. "I saw 50, 60, 70 people coming and going. "
Sounds like those College Republicans are really earning their Lieberman-funded room and board! :grr:
