But so far no candidate has given me a single reason to vote for him/her in this year's senate race except for Chris Dodd. I will, however, vote for Dick if he's on the ballot in November, because he beats the alternatives (Linda McMahon or Rob Simmons).<br /><br />But really, it doesn't Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678362998156967998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-32096209063558552942010-04-05T18:36:51.873-04:002010-04-05T18:36:51.873-04:00Dude, I gave Alpert more coverage than pretty much...Dude, I gave Alpert more coverage than pretty much any other blog in the state, ever since he announced.

With a change of opponents, often strategy changes. I have yet to hear Alpert call Blumenthal a "D.C. Insider" in fact, I have heard him call Blumenthal a few other things, including incrementalist, someone out of touch with the constituents,and someone who doesn't take a stance ctpolstudentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-8792280617271356842010-04-05T10:52:09.562-04:002010-04-05T10:52:09.562-04:00Alpert probably should have set his sights lower w...Alpert probably should have set his sights lower when Chris Dodd announced his withdrawal. By staying in the race after someone like Blumenthal has entered tells me that he's driven by more than wanting to replace a "DC insider". You might not like Blumenthal's style, but there's no way you can accuse him of being an inside-the-beltway politician.<br /><br />State Central CT Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334232414964958641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-76469406738260290702010-04-05T08:18:28.741-04:002010-04-05T08:18:28.741-04:00I think the Alpert campaign has long outlasted its...I think the Alpert campaign has long outlasted its usefulness or purpose, but as a Democrat, the errant behaviour of our State Party is infuriating. One cycle, the party gets behind Joe Lieberman in a big way; the next, they say that they don't endorse in primaries (even when Lee Whitnum is on line B); this time out, they're renting office space and sending out fundraising solicitations Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127256607826175741noreply@blogger.com
