and found him to be earthy, warm, gracious, and full of substance. I went to the official New Britain opening of their Democratic Headquarters for this year's election campaign.
He is a dynamic person who is accessible and easy to talk to. He spoke more on all the other local candidates than himself, carefully plugging them rather than his own agenda, particularly John Destefano who is running for Governor. Of him, he said that what made him so interested of Destefano was his vision, and that this man didn't just think of Connecticut in the now, but he was amazed that the Govenor-elect thought about our state ten years into the future.
He also plugged Attorney General Richard Blumenthal for being at almost every event that he, Ned Lamont was at, no matter how large or how small, making him dignified.
It's no secret that I have been pulling for Ned Lamont as I have written two diaries in support of him with many comments to other diaries in favor as well.
I am happy to have introduced myself and have had the pleasure to have shook his hand. He is a genuine person and I am sure that he is the man that I want to represent me in the United States Senate without a doubt.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Beau Anderson aka spazeboy who is a great inspiration, and local CT Blogger who has kept many of us here, in The Nutmeg State, up to par with the Lamont Campaign. He is a dynamic force in the spirit of this battle for the Senate too.
All told, it was a very nice, Democratic meeting with pizza, good rhetoric, and charming people who act locally and represent globally!
