This past Monday, I wrote a column for the Yale Daily News, which was linked to by Kos and on MyDD, as well as elsewhere. In it, I laid out the case for Lamont and against Lieberman. Today, the YDN published a rebuttal piece, written by the student who is leading Lieberman's (minimal) efforts on campus. There are numerous problems with the piece. I will address the specific, point-by-point ones below.
Ned Lamont spoke last night (Monday, 2/27/06) to a meeting of the Yale Democrats and the Yale community at large. Here is a summary of what he said, interspersed with some of my own comments. He made a very good overall impression on the crowd of 80-100 people, mostly students. He gave what is becoming his standard stump speech, followed by a brief Q & A session. I think that he's getting very good at telling the crowd who he is, what he's about, and why Lieberman has to go.
