The only interesting matter about the race for Dodd's vacated senate seat since there is nothing encouraging or hopeful about it is if Blumenthal will be able to pull off a victory with his stealth candidacy. Blumenthall seems to be trying to perfect the campaign style (not originating with him) of maintaining a presence without engaging in any discussion of political ideas or identification with any. Not that McMahon or Shiff show any political instincts either beyond spending huge amounts of cash in their campaigns and mouthing generalized, vacuous remarks.Henry Berryhttp://henryberryinct.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
