Ned Lamont hedges his bet on Obama and Dodd. Ned Rocks!

Speaking to teenagers in the Greenwich YMCA's Leadership Club, Lamont said: "Barack Obama and Sen. Dodd are going to lead the Democratic Party to victory in November 2008."

Lamont 's crystal ball shows Obama as president and Dodd as vice president.

Senator Edwards

Basically, John Edwards called us up and said he was coming to Connecticut in the days after the primary. There wasn't really even an invitation (to the best of my knowledge). In his speech, he never mentioned Joe Lieberman. When pressed by bloggers about coming back to Connecticut, he said he would. When we asked him directly, he declined.

Update <2006-11-14 16:16:6 by ttagaris>: There are a few comments about Senator Edwards and his role in the days immediately following the primary. He was in town, he did say Joe shouldn't run, and he did have a $250 a person fundraiser for Ned. All that is terrific, and was much appreciated. But here's the deal from my perspective as the online guy w/ Ned's campaign -- take it for what it's worth: in the days following the primary '08ers (and a few others) couldn't get their press releases/$5,000 checks out the door quick enough. Call me a cynic, but most of it had to do with the amount of online support we had received and their reaching out to you through Ned. It just is what it is.

When the spotlight wore with time and more races claimed a share of the attention, there were a few people who stuck around and actually held Joe's feet to the fire on Iraq and other issues ... Senator Edwards just wasn't one of them. I'm sorry. I wish he was, but he wasn't.
