With all the coverage of the Democratic party embracing Ned Lamont, the blog left sees it a little differently:

Barack Obama: Mr. "Audacity of Hope" is hoping you'll never find out he cancelled his plans to campaign in Connecticut for Lamont weeks ago, right at the last minute. He has just recently agreed to send out an email under his name for Lamont, asking people to volunteer for Ned, and that's good. But he seems to be calculating that backing out of the rest of his promise won't matter, even as he turns up in New York and Massachussetts on his book tour (doesn't I-95 run from NY to MA through CT? What's the hypotenuse?). Can you help Mr. Audacity?

John Edwards: The smiling former senator did well to campaign with Lamont right after the primary, and he apparently told an audience in Colorado just this week he would be glad to go back anytime. Word on the street in Connecticut is he may have changed his mind when actually asked to deliver. Can you help Senator Edwards with his sums?

Russ Feingold: Senator Feingold seems to be copying from John Edwards' paper. He tells people he will show up for Ned anytime, but doesn't actually do it. Maybe he was an English major. Can you help him with his math?

The Clintons: The Clintons seem to have turned in their papers, from what I can tell. Senator Clinton is holding on to her email list of Connecticut contacts from her national database, so the Lamont campaign can't tap into those Democrats who may be able to help get out the vote by volunteering for Ned. Likewise, President Clinton will not be reprising his role as supporter of the incumbent during the primary for the subsequent winner of the actual Democratic primary. Perhaps Senator Clinton will be running in the future on some newly minted "America for Clinton" ticket?

The DSCC: Until late this week, the DSCC had dug its heels in against pressure to send out an email on behalf of Ned, asking people to volunteer for Ned and help GOTV, but I'm told they've been persuaded to change their minds. Good for them.

The DSCC had to be pressured to send out an email???
