I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that there were many fewer people at “Progressives & Capitalism” than the “Ned Lamont for Senate: What Really Happened” panel, despite the fact that I could have wrapped up the latter in a few words. (Um, he lost.) But I stopped by both anyway and was at first surprised to see Ned Lamont himself sitting at a table in the audience. Then I realized, Well, if anyone is curious what happened, it’s probably Ned Lamont. Then again, perhaps it only confused him more. As with Howard Dean, Kossacks are enthusiastic in their insistent recitation of all the ways Lamont actually won in a larger sense. When Ned goes home to Connecticut Sunday, though, he probably has a better idea of the difference between a victory in the real world and one in the DailyKos diaries.
