WEST HARTFORD n If not for Alan Schlesinger, the mid-morning political forum featuring the five candidates (or their representatives) for U.S. Senator, held last Sunday at Emanuel Synagogue in West Hartford, would have been déjà vu all over again.
Ned Lamont, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator, used his 15-minutes to call for universal health care, presidential accountability for illegal wiretapping, the return ASAP of American troops from Iraq, and an end to the pork that fattens legislation. Invoking the names of Terry Schiavo and Sam Alito, and quoting everyone from the late Senator Abraham Ribicoff to the late President John F. Kennedy and even the late President Ronald Reagan, he painstakingly set himself apart from the incumbent senior Senator from Connecticut whose name he never once mentioned.
