Ned Lamont is taking his challenge to Joe Lieberman to schools all over Connecticut. In speeches at Yale and Fairfield (no link here yet), he's fired up students to support his primary bid. Ned forcefully denounced Lieberman and Bush's losing strategy for Iraq, Joe's support for illegal wiretaps and torture, and his approval of George Bush's radical Supreme Court nominees. Ned also emphasized his support for renewable energy, universal healthcare, and fiscal responsibility.
Ned has been reaching out to students because he knows that our support is essential for his campaign. Because the primary is in August, he needs to build a base of student support during this semester. Students are excited about Ned because they want a real Democrat representing Connecticut, not a Bush apologist.

Ned Lamont, Greenwich millionaire and potential Democratic Senate candidate, was at the New Haven Public Library this morning. The turnout to meet him was pretty good, with about 40 people in attendance. After some brief announcements by local activists ( Professor Odom will be giving a speech about Iraq at 311 Temple on Tuesday at 7:30), Lamont bounded up to the podium and was greeted by quite a bit of applause.
