| Description | On a low-rise stage in front of a delicatessen, a blues band is taking a moment between songs to set up a chair and keyboards. Ned Lamont takes a seat and plays a few tentative notes, as if trying to jog his memory. Dozens of gawkers press in, eating corn, drinking beer, smiling.
"We're going to do a boogie-woogie in the key of A," the guitarist and bandleader says to Lamont, off-mike. "What do you think about that?"
"How about G?" he counters.
It's not much to look at or listen to, but right now this is the best show in American politics. Or part of it, anyway. Lamont, a cable-TV executive with as much energy as disposable income, is the man currently petrifying Joe Lieberman, the three-term senator and former vice presidential candidate whose handful of GOP-friendly stands unleashed a lot of rage in the Democratic Party. |
