Last night my husband and I attended a Meetup for Ned Lamont in Norwalk, CT. I'd estimate roughly 75 people attended; all age ranges were represented and it was an energetic crowd, but my first impression is that we need to pull younger activists into the fold. We introduced ourselves and our reasons for attending the meeting (typical of the way Meetups are run; if any of you were part of the Dean Meetups it's the same basic setup).
There were many members of Democratic Town Committees willing to host Lamont at upcoming town meetings, which will be key in getting more and more visibility for Ned. He will certainly need to attend many DTC meetings (among other actions) to pull this upset over Lieberman. He's got to get into the newspapers, radio, and start becoming a force within the party.
