A few weeks ago Colin McEnroe invited Dan Gerstein and me to discuss blogs, the Internet(s) and our respective campaigns to his class at Trinity College.

Teh Google came up.

I turned to Dan, back to the class and said, "I really don't want to get too deep into this particular strategy ... eh, screw it, there's nothing you'll be able to do to counter the effort."

I then described GooglebombCT, a project we've been working on for a few months now.

Let me tell you, "Joe Lieberman" is a tough nut to crack on Google, but we've come a long way.  We've taken links out of nowhere and now dominate the second and third pages of the returns.  You think link is tough?  Try ten for Joe and ten for Ned.

Anyway.  Here's my ask ... I'll include the source code in the first comment.  Please embed it into the template of your blogs (side bar or footer are great!).  It might look unsightly for two weeks, but here's the vital statistics are far as our race in CT is concerned:

In the days before the August primary, seventy thousand! people visited NedLamont.com via Google.  Over 20,000 Googled "Joe Lieberman" inside CT alone.

Joe Lieberman has millions of dollars from those who profit from war, high gas prices and expensive medicine.  His 527 friends are free to distort Joe's record (in a positive way) and trash Ned on TV.  We'll fight with the tools we have.  All of them.

Bombs away!
