Wonder if he will say he’s determined to stay in race, then
“suspend his campaign” when the polls nosedive?
from Wikipedia:
—In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Blumenthal said that he had never accepted PAC money. Blumenthal accepted over $220,000 in PAC money for the first fiscal quarter of 2010, according to his FEC report. When challenged on the discrepancy, his campaign released a statement explaining that he was referring only to previous campaigns
—On May 17, 2010, the New York Times published an article stating that Blumenthal “never served in Vietnam, despite statements to the contrary. The Times has found that he obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war.” The Times also published a March 2, 2008, video in which he states that “I served in Vietnam”
—In 2007, Hans Bader, Counsel for Special Projects of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (a Libertarian think-tank) ranked Blumenthal as “the nation’s worst state attorney general”...Former Congressman Rob Simmons, one of Blumenthal’s Republican contenders for Senator of Connecticut, circulated the document on his campaign website, charging Blumenthal with “supporting meritless, politically-driven lawsuits.”
