I'll be live-blogging the event (as well as I can...it's my first time) over at
My Left Nutmeg. Right now, I'm here at La Paloma Sabanera, and the video is being simultaneously released all over the internet and screened before a throng of supporters in Hartford.
You can view the video at this link. You can view many other Ned Lamont related videos at my main site, the Ned Lamont Resource. (Updated to include the text of my liveblog post from My Left Nutmeg on the flip)
