Mauimom @ 194 - here’s the info (might as well use up some of Sore Loserman’s bandwidth): new registrations and changes of party affiliation have to be postmarked by Thursday 8/3 at 8am, and be received at the Town Hall by noon on Monday 8/7, the day before the primary.

I’ve visited your island twice, btw - beautiful place, but you already know that.

Folks, does anyone know how close to the primary voters can register or change party? I’m worried about a bunch of Repubs changing their registration to Dem so they can support Holy Joe.

Any reason for me to be paranoid about this?

Did some one post that there is a heart wrenching new Riverbend?

Re: #141

Thanks for that link. I thought I had come up with a good idea but I guess NED and his team have everthing covered. By the way, that is a good ad. Just in case you missed it:

Update on Haynes nomination. Possible filibuster. If Lindsy, well, possible filibuster.

Here’s the latest crap in my e-mail box. I think he is blasting all Ds in the state because I didn’t sign up for these.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
With less than a month until Primary Day, our offices around the state are buzzing with energy. Friends like you have turned out to volunteer on weekends, after work—even during your lunch break! Thanks so much for all you do.

Senator Lieberman is a national figure, and our fight for Connecticut’s future has taken on national importance. Volunteers are signing up from around the country to help re-elect Joe, and most of these folks will be driving up and flying in the weekend before August 8th. Can you help these hard workers by giving them a place to stay?

Let us know if you can contribute supporter housing for a volunteer!

These volunteers are giving up vacations and weekends to fight for the future of Connecticut. Please welcome them while they’re here.

Let us know if you can contribute supporter housing for a volunteer!

Your contributions of time, hard work, and financial support keep us going every day. Thanks again, and I hope to see you on the campaign trail.

Jane (re #114):

I’m saying that you should be pointing out Joe’s deceptions, and laughing at them, but that you should be keeping the commentary proportionate. It is the lameness and ineffectiveness of the Lieberman campaign that I find to be funny.

Lieberman’s people are making up straw men to argue with. They are expanding on a small grain of truth — the fact that a lot of people were sick, sick, sick of Joe Lieberman long before Lamont came along, and would have jumped on Ned’s bandwagon as soon as there was any hope, and expanded it into a falsehood, that this is the only thing that the Lamont campaign is about. They think it’s an effective tactic because they think that Connecticut voters love Joe the way the Washington press corps does.

The reason I suggested laughing is because it reveals a campaign that, far from Atwater/Rove levels of diabolical sleaze, is simply incompentent. These guys don’t deserve the honor (or dishonor) of being put into the same category. All they are revealing is that they are going down.

Also, I don’t want to waste mentions of Atwater/Rove tactics on small stuff. There are too many real examples of dirty Republican tactics. Atwater/Rove would be telling Lamont supporters to vote on the wrong day, or making sure that pro-Lamont parts of town don’t have enough voting machines.

Otto - YOUR Senator cannot use Senate resources to discuss your political concerns with you?

Lame is one word.

Re: Novak. Wonder why Rove isn’t as free and easy to talk about what he has testified about? He sure seemed evasive in the Aspen interview write up.
