This afternoon Norwich Bulletin reporter, James Mosher, asked Attorney General Richard Blumenthal if he was willing to debate me again. Mr. Blumenthal answered that he was too busy to agree to another public debate - his campaign adding that, "We'd like to wait until after the convention." Too busy to engage in a substantive discussion about the issues facing Connecticut citizens, and how he would recommend addressing these problems and better serving the needs of the citizens of this state? What could possibly be more important or necessary? Connecticut Democrats should be wary of any candidate who tries to duck his opponent in a clear effort to avoid a rigorous primary election. Because what this state cannot afford is a Connecticut Coakley. If the Attorney General can't take on a fellow Democrat who is far behind him in the polls, how is he going to stop Linda McMahon and the Republicans?
