Ned Lamont’s win in the Connecticut senatorial primary was a great victory for

Republicans. Face it; you just split your vote in half. When the joyous drunk you all have in actually winning an election, you will realize what a mistake you've made. The endorsement of an extreme leftwing blogger is the kiss of death. Lamont is bound to lose to either lieberman or the republican and in doing so will reveal once and for all that the democrat party is completely impotent and irrelevant.

I mean, the Progressive dems clean house, so all the Right wingers come out...and have to add their two cents...I guess they figure once we clean house, they are next on the agenda and that scares them. Because once we clean house, we can start talking impeachment, as well as war crimes and oh man, they are all going to freak out.

But you know what? Its gonna be fantastic.. I can't wait.

Last summer I went to Washington D.C. as a part of Presidential Classroom. It was a week in D.C. to learn about Homeland Security from the people who work in the field. One other part of the week long trip was that everyone got to meet their Senators and Representative. We had times where we were supposed to go to their office to meet with them. When I went to McCotter's office no one had any idea who I was or why I was there. A family from Michigan showed up for a tour of Capitol Hill. Representative McCotter came out to meet with this family. He shook their hands and thanked them for their support. When he got to me I extended my hand and said "It is nice to meet you." McCotter walked right past me ignored me completely and went back into his office. I couldn't believe that he wouldn't even shake my hand. I know that he saw me because he looked at me when I spoke to him but that did not stop him from ignoring me. In my trip to D.C. I did not get a chance to meet with Senator Levin because a vote had come up suddenly which I completely understand. I got to speek with his staff and they were eager to answer any questions and tell us anything that we wanted to know. I did get to meet Senator Stabenow which was great. I got to speak directly to a Senator. But McCotter to completely ignore me just left me with a bad taste. I knew that I didn't like Republicans but I was going to give McCotter a chance when I met him. I was going to keep an open mind. What he did only confirmed for me that I am proud to be a democrat. Yesterday I turned 18 and I am going to vote for Tony Trupiano and support him any way that I can because I have always remembered how McCotter treated one of his constituents.
