In Connecticut, Bombshell Hits Schlesinger Campaign

The Hartford Courant sent a bunker bomb in to Connecticut Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Alan Schlesinger’s flagging campaign today with revelations that the former legislator was successfully sued for thousands of dollars in casino debts he ran up in Atlantic City venues. Schlesinger’s campaign was rocked last week by the news that, among other things, he had gambled in a Connecticut Indian casino under an assumed name, Alan Gold. His luck will have run out now.

Word of his gambling debts will renew calls for Schlesinger to abandon his tattered candidacy...

Hardly a viable GOP candidate, IMHO...

Well, looks like Joe is the best viable choice.

Not to mention I looked up Darby Ct.

The City of Derby, the smallest city in the state of Connecticut, covers 5.3 sq. miles and has 12,080 residents.
