Campaign Notebook: McMahon Changes Image to Win Voters

News and updates from the campaign trail in Connecticut.

Senate

The Associated Press took a look at the closely-contested race for Senate and finds that Linda McMahon’s attempts to change her image from that of a “groin-kicking CEO to grandmother” have been paying off.

Chris Murphy, her opponent, said that voters need to be reminded why they voted against her in her failed 2010 Senate bid.

Fourth District

Jim Himes and Steve Obsitnik are scheduled to debate several times in October, with debates planned on Oct. 10 in Stamford, Oct. 18 in Norwalk and Oct. 28 in Wilton.

The Wilton debate is being organized by a dozen local chapters of the League of Women Voters and is scheduled for 4-5:30 p.m. at Wilton High School.

“The Leagues of Southwestern Connecticut—the 4th Congressional District—have joined forces to present a centrally-located forum for area residents to learn the candidates’ positions on national and local issues, particularly those impacting our region,” said debate facilitator Jara Burnett of LWV Greenwich.

The questions at the debate will be solicited from the audience and League members.

Well, realistically, you won't get speed bumps (they just don't do that on public streets) but youRead More might get a speed trap once in a while. I drive this road every weekday and am just as appalled as you are by the speeding. And let me tell you, it's not always youngsters. I've seen a few blue-haired old ladies ride my bumper on that street. We have a similar problem on Barn Hill, another long stretch of road where drivers feel the need for speed. What I can't figure out (with all due respect) is why anybody with half a brain would choose either of those streets for their morning or evening walk. That's just tempting fate.
