Today I'm going to venture into the world of live streaming, which is a departure from the videoblogging I have written about (and done) in the past.  So if there are any kinks in the process, please forgive them.

As part of a final push for Barack Obama in CT, Ned Lamont (who needs no introduction here) and Kal Penn (of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle fame) are appearing at UConn, Wesleyan University, and Yale University today, rallying students to Obama's candidacy.  As you may already know, Ned Lamont endorsed Obama--an endorsement that just got a lot more meaningful since the race is between just two candidates who are polling within the margin of error of each other in Connecticut.

Below are just the videos of their opening statements.  I had neither my camcorder nor my tripod with me, so I apologize in advance for the substandard quality of my videos this time around.  

Ned Lamont on behalf of Barack Obama

I saw Lieberman's new ad today, and wasn't surprised to discover that it was left off his website--so I uploaded it to YouTube.  It's a copycat negative ad.  The picture of the candidate, flipping back and forth is so June 19--the day CTBob produced this independent advertisement.

Now compare that to Joe's latest ad (Click to watch at YouTube):
Similar, no?

I've been reading Joe Lieberman's book, In Praise of Public Life, which I purchased at a steep discount from Amazon. I thought it would be nice, since I'm enjoying the book so far, to get the author to autograph it. I mean, I've got autographed books by Billy Corgan, Kevin Smith, and Markos & Jerome so the Lieberman book would be in good company on my shelf. Today at Carmine's Italian Grill in Bristol, the opportunity presented itself.

What a wonderful day Ned Lamont is having! First, the new Quinnipiac Poll numbers are out, and Ned Lamont is clearly gaining ground. Analysis is also available at LamontBlog and My Left Nutmeg.

Second, he made an hour-long appearance on this morning's "Where We Live" program carried by the local NPR affiliates in Connecticut. [Download 23.7mb MP3 from WNPR][Download 11.9mb MP3 from the Ned Lamont Resource]

Third, at noon today in New Haven the fine folks at Democracy for America and MoveOn PAC held a grassroots pep-rally for Ned Lamont. Despite convening at noon on a workday, the room was overflowing, with estimates of over 200 supporters in attendance. Aldon live-blogged the event for the official Ned Lamont blog, noting that Tim Tagaris is on his way to YearlyKos today. News coverage from three local stations AND video of Joementum's appearance on Imus this morning on the flip.
