Senate

Democrats vying for the U.S. Senate nomination debated in Bridgeport on Sunday, and the Hartford Courant fact checked the statements by Chris Murphy and Susan Bysiewicz. Both the candidates appeared to be mistaken on some facts.

Fourth District

Jim Himes (D): The incumbent recently relaunched his campaign website, http://www.himesforcongress.com. In other news, he named the 15th most beautiful member of Congress by The Hill. Himes did some modeling in college for clothing companies.

Steve Obsitnik (R): Local Republicans in Fairfield County gathered to support Obsitnik in Stamford on Wednesday, reports the Connecticut Post.

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, I…Read More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense of…Read More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.
