Support a Progressive Candidate for U.S. Senate

While everyone is still revved up from the Pennsylvania Senate primary I want to bring someone else to your attention. His name is Ned Lamont and he's running in the August Connecticut primary against Joe Lieberman. We all know what a DINO Joe Loserman is. He supports the disastrous war in Iraq, gets proudly bussed on the cheek by George Bush, and is extremely vulnerable in his re-election effort.

Ned Lamont is a real progressive running an aggressive campaign. Go to his website and watch some of the ads he's running and a short video about the issues. Tim Tagaris is now doing Lamont's blog and it's up and running here. The ads and video are available on the blog.

I urge all progressive Pennsylvanians to do what they can between now and August to help Ned Lamont. You feel betrayed by a Pennsylvania Democratic Party that shoved Bob Casey down your throat so transfer that energy and money to Connecticut where you can still make a difference. If we're going to get a Lieberman Democrat representing Pennsylvania at least let's get rid of Connecticut's Lieberman.
