In light of Mr. Blumenthal's decline of another public debate with me, I offered the following statement to the media yesterday:
"Mr. Blumenthal does a disservice to Connecticut Democrats by refusing to stand before them and discuss the serious issues facing our nation. If he is afraid to debate an underdog, how is he going to deal with Republican Linda McMahon? His Washington political consultants hustled him out a side exit in order to avoid the press after his shaky performance in the first debate, so it's not surprising his new campaign slogan is 'One and Done'."
