The rally was held to kick off Lamont's Stand Up for Change bus tour. But first, what would a photo album of a Lamont Rally be without the KISS float?
Below the fold, more photos -- Lamont, the crowd, CTKeith commentary :: :: :: buzz-it!
Lots of folks -- good crowd -- and some incredibly rude Lieber-youth.
When Ned said that the Democrats need to retake congress and stand up to Bush, the Lieber youth booed. (Sounds like some real Democratic support, there. /snark) When Mary Glassman (running for Lt. Governor) said, we need to help Connecticut kids afford tuition at UCONN, one Lieberman youth shouted out, "I can afford my college." (nice.) Oh, the Lieber-youth booed the mention of Joe Courtney (running in CT-CD02 against Rob Simmons, the worst Bush rubber stamp in Connecticut) -- How's that for evidence that the Lieberman supporters are Bushites? Course, then, the speaker commented on their Vote Joe signs and thanked them for showing their support for Joe Courtney. Kiss float was there, CTkeith was there handing out Kiss buttons. And the Lamont folks were handing out nice watch hats and tee shirts.
Here's one of the Joe signs they were covering up:
I said something to the effect "No, no, you should be proud to stand up for what you do."
One young lady stuck her tounge out at me (must have been my Lamont pin, cuz I am really a very unthreatening looking lady) and another older gentleman, who had a stack of Joe signs which he couldn't seem to give away, also put his sign up to hide his face. But others were proud which was cool. One kid was kind of cool, proud, a cyber punk type; I had to admire his attitude when I said I wanted to take his picture. He smiled and posed.
Oh, and they took the watch hats and put their Joe bumper stickers over the front which said "stand up for change," but neglected to cover up the Ned Lamont for Senate on the back.
