A great diary!

I was at this same Lamont meetup last night in Farmington CT, and it was indeed a great meetup, well attended, and with good audience participation.

But, here is the only beef I have with the pro-Lamont Farmington CT Dems which I saw & spoke with last night at this meetup; they allowed, via their own lack of organization and their own inaction, to allow their own Farmington CT DTC to vote to cast ALL of Farmington's convention delegate votes as an entire block (11 total) for JOE LIEBERMAN!

Now, since Farmington is NOT a large city like Hartford or Stamford or New Haven or Bridgeport, where state party largesse and delegates holding city jobs significantly comes into play as far as how their delegates will vote in conventions, I can only attribute the current DTC situation in Farmington to poor local organization and inaction among Farmington's progressive Dems -

If just half of those who showed up last night at the Farmington meetup for Ned also showed up at their Farmington DTC meetings, control of the Farmington DTC could easily be wrested from the pro-Lieberman establishment Dem party vermin who currently infest the Farmington DTC -

From what I saw last night, the current Farmington DTC currently has a few pro-Lamont types who are well-meaning kindly progressive senior citizens who unfortunately just don't get it that THIS IS A WAR NOW for the heart and soul of the Dem party nationally, and that every DTC is a grassroots-level battlefield where some SERIOUS ASS needs to start being kicked organizationally speaking, so we see NO MORE block votes for scoundrels like joe lieberman from towns like Farmington!

And the same goes for the CT towns of Trumbull and Westport as well, which are also smallish CT towns loaded with progressive pro-Lamont Dem citizens, but whose DTCs also voted in the Dem convention as entire blocks for Lieberman -

Taking over the DTCs in small towns like Farmington and Trumbull and Westport are incredibly easy things to do; all it mostly takes is for the local pro-Lamont progressives there to just SHOW UP and SPEAK UP!

Now, who wants join me in starting some sort of state-wide organization to clean up CT's DTCs, starting with the Farmington and Trumbull and Westport DTCs?
