The Dismantling of Chris Murphy: Barbara Kennelly Redux?
Each day, the focused McMahon team hammers the same themes — “Chris Murphy’s jobs plan remains a work in progress. … He skipped nearly 80 percent of his committee meetings. … Chris Murphy isn’t being honest with you. … Chris Murphy isn’t reaching across the aisle” — steadily defining a Democrat largely unknown outside the 5th District.
… This is a simple and classic marketing recipe: Say something so many times that people will believe it.

I think there is nothing more scary to the Courant and DNC than for Linda to win the election….
It should scare every American!
It should scare everyone!
Hi Rick–
How about a story or two about Linda’s record spending?
On a per vote or per capita basis there is nothing like it at a Congressional level, ever, in the entire history of America.
Hey, Ed, were you complaining about money in 2008 when Obama doubled McCain’s spending?
You mean when Obama spent $5 Billion, (or $15 for every man, woman and child)?
Whoops, that never happened. But it is happening right here in Connecticut. Grosser than gross….
