Primary challenger to Dodd will announce

According to his website, lawyer & CEO Merrick Alpert intends to announce on Monday that he'll seek the Democratic nomination for Senate in the 2010 election.

From his website:
Merrick Alpert | May 18, 2009

Welcome. The website is up. The office is operational. The countdown starts! Today we inform the media of our plans. Tomorrow the journey begins. I look forward to sharing every step of this journey with you. This blog will be the ultimate behind the scenes look at the campaign. For a more casual view of the campaign, join me on facebook, twitter, and flickr to see up-to-date candid photos, daily on-the-road videos, and what really goes on at the ground level.
It'll be very interesting to see what Alpert brings to the table in a contest against the firmly established five-term incumbent Sen. Chris Dodd.

More details later.

UPDATE - Alpert's Youtube video:

Interesting candidate, impressive background. Nothing on his site about where he stands on issues, I guess there's plenty of time for that. Thanks for the heads up!

Well as a bridgeport voter i can say this guyseems nice but that doesnt cut it. I like Chris to. As of now i am split on my decision. I Think if he wins we might have the same problem with Lamont meaning he will not win a general so i say Vote for chris he is a safe choice.
