_{Jim Himes and Barack Obama, May 19, 2007}

Barack Obama recorded a nice radio ad for Jim Himes just in time for the final stretch:

Visit the Himes website forward it to your friends.

The CT Post covers it here (emphasis added):

In the radio ad, Obama urges listeners to support Himes, saying he needs their help in electing him to Congress. He adds that he wants to “change the way Washington does business.”

[...]

Chris Healy, Republican State Central Committee chairman, said he doubts that Obama’s ad for Himes will move voters this late in the campaign.

[...]

“It’s fine. So what?” Healy asked. “I think people understand Chris Shays’ record and value. Barack Obama talking about Jim Himes, whom I doubt he’s ever met, it won’t draw flies.”

And the “Talking Out of His Ass Again” award goes to…Chris Healy!

New Hampshire is getting a huge amount of attention this election cycle. It was lavished with attention and candidate visits last year because of its first-in-the-nation primary, and this year because it is a swing state.

Apparently, NH is where the action is. So when I had the chance to go to the Merrimack County Democrats fundraiser to see Ned Lamont speak, I took it. Below are some highlights from his speech:

Who watches the Watchmen? Well, I know that Bob watches the bloggers who slack off.

I was first exposed to Watchmen during my early college years (OK…last year), so imagine my surprise when I heard an 11 year old Smashing Pumpkins tune from a lousy Batman flick backing up the teaser trailer for the Watchmen movie.

I was surprised. It’s hard to imagine it.

Future 4th District Congressman Jim Himes is airing his first ad. Click here to share it with your family, friends and neighbors.

Himes has a lot of events coming up, and that walk across the district looks especially fun.

This past weekend I helped CT Bob film an interview with 5th district Congressman Chris Murphy at his New Britain campaign headquarters. After a weekend of editing, CT Bob has posted the interview, which clocks in at 22 minutes:

This is not the first interview that I’ve teamed up with CT Bob to shoot. There was also the great Ned Lamont interview of ‘07.

I am pleased to announce that I took a job as Online Organizer with Connecticut Citizen Action Group. I have been hired to bolster the organization’s online presence and outreach.

As such, blogging here will probably slow down a bit more. Expect to see more posts on subjects that I won’t be writing about for CCAG, like How-To Videoblog. Of course, regardless of the topic, the blogging that I do here will not necessarily represent or reflect the opinions of my employer.

The bottom line is that this blog is my personal website, and any statements or posts made to it are my own. Any preferences expressed for candidates (past, present or future) are my preferences and should not be attributed to CCAG. Any candidate advocacy expressed here will be done on my own time and without using any CCAG resources.
