I'm Back!

Here's a look at some of the stories that have made headlines this week:
  • On Sunday Congressman Chris Murphy was on Face The State, and discussed what his first months in Washington were like. Murphy also met with The News-Times on Tuesday to talk about various issues, such as immigration and being targeted by the National Republicans. You can read the article here.

  • State Senator David Cappiello, who is challenging Murphy, started his "41 Towns In 41 Days Tour" on Wednesday. Cappiello started in Torrington and will travel to all forty-one towns in the district within the coming weeks.

  • Cappiello also has put up a direct message from himself on his website. It explains what he plans on focusing on in his campaign, and why he believes he's the best person for the job.

  • Republican Leaders John McKinney, of the State Senate, and Larry Cafero, of the House, have put their support behind Rudy Giuliani's campaign for President. the two will co-chair his campaign here in Connecticut. Just for the record, Republican State Chair Chris Healy, has not come out with who he plans on supporting, and probably won't. However he has donated to John McCain's campaign, and he did run his primary campaign in Connecticut back in 2000. Former Chair George Gallo, announced earlier this year that he is backing McCain. Also, though he isn't doing good in the polls, most State Democrats have put their support behind Chris Dodd's campaign for President.

  • Also: baseball legend and Yankee great Phil Rizzuto passed away at 89 on Tuesday, President Bush's daughter Jenna is getting married, Karl Rove is resigning, a new Presidential poll came out, and Danbury has been in the news lately, but not for political purposes.

Gee, what a week!

Murphy is a double-talker who is going to lose. Cappiello will be great in Washington!
