Invite Your Friends to Check Out Connecticut's Online Community
Long after the ballots are cast on August 8, Democrats will continue to fight for a vision of progress we hold dear. To that end, there are a number of local blogs and websites with their finger on the pulse of the Connecticut political scene. Using the tool below, invite your friends to check some of them out. Of course, there is the official campaign blog you should be reading too (RSS Feed).My Left Nutmeg -- (RSS Feed)
My Left Nutmeg is a community blog that allows you to contribute content directly to the site. One of Connecticut's largest blogs, it is updated often with fresh content and lively discussion. The site also expands its reach offline, bringing activists together at events like Markos & Jerome's Crashing the Gate book signing in New Haven.
Lamont Blog -- (RSS Feed)
Lamont blog has a wealth of information for those keeping tabs on the U.S. Senate primary between Ned Lamont and Joe Lieberman. The content is always contemporary and well-researched. Even Ned talks about the Lamont blog when on the stump.
Connecticut Bob -- (RSS Feed)
One of the more creative blogs in the Connecticut lanscape, you can always count on "Bob" to provide cutting-edge multimedia content for visitors to the site. Bob was also the creator of the "Lieberman vs. the Day After Pill" post that attracted national notice of Democrats and organizations such as the National Organization for Women.
ConnecticutBLOG -- (RSS Feed)
Also one of the more creative blogs in terms of multimedia use and on-the-ground journalism. The Connecticut Blog has been the source of news breaking photos, video, and audio -- including the infamous statement by Senator Lieberman that he wouldn't rule out an Independent run this November.
Connecticut Local Politics -- (RSS Feed)
A down-the-middle approach to covering "Connecticut Local Politics." The site's threads often overflow with comments ranging from activists to insiders.
La Resistance -- The Ned Lamont Resource
Can't say enough about the resource. It seems that anytime something about the campaign springs up online or offline in the traditional media, "The Resource" has it up on their site.
Ned-Heads YouTube Group
Hundreds of members get their video fix at the You Tube group, started by "scarce." Whether it's campaign commercials, television spots, video from the convention or campaign events, it can be found on You Tube.
There isn't enough time or space to get to each and every Connecticut website and their accomplishments, so here are a few others below to take note of.
