This should put the fear of God into the nominally feminist state politicians who have backed Joe leading up to the convention. I think they deserve to pay a price for joining Joe in turning their backs against women. The polling place  knows no fury like an activist women's organization's scorn -- or something like that.

This endorsement will have ramifications that belie the low-key event at which it was announced. NOW's involvement is getting attention from ABC Nightly News, which sees the Lamont campaign as a bellwether for a seismic shift among the Democratic  rank and file who are finally saying "Enough!" to the failed and discredited tactics of the Begalas and Carvilles and Clintons (Hillary division) of the world.

Neal Fink was there with Connecticut Bob's video camera. Look for video later on Connecticut Bob and, hopefully, here.

I'll try to post a transcript of Ned's remarks.
