According to this article at The Day (New London, CT) newspaper (http://www.theday.com/article/20100512/NWS05/305129915/-1/NWS), the CT Democrats have their nominating convention scheduled for Friday of this week. The odds were that Blumenthal would have been the easy nominee coming out of that convention, and a primary would only be necessary if some other candidate came up with 15 percent or more of the vote.

In typical open and ethical Democrat fashion (snort!), the state party's "central committee" has evidently been working overtime to prevent Alpert from speaking at the convention.

So, was the NY Times article timing chosen to influence the Demo/Commie convention and give Alpert a chance at getting that 15 percent in order to force a primary? Will the Demothugs circle their wagons and nominate Blumenthal anyway?

If I'm understanding it correctly, the article in The Day also says that Alpert refers to Blumenthal as "chicken Dick" (I love it, LOL!)...

The good news then is that with less than a week before the convention the Dems are in chaos and if a primary does have to happen, the story of Blumenthal’s Vietnam statements will continue to run all summer.
