Campaign Notebook: McMahon, Murphy Debates Scheduled

News and updates from the campaign trail in Connecticut.

Senate

It appears that the debates between Linda McMahon and Chris Murphy have been more or less settled for now. While Murphy committed to nine debates leading up the November election, McMahon has agreed to the following four, according to her campaign.

  • Oct. 7, hosted by WFSB on Face the State
  • Oct. 11, hosted by Fox 61 and the Hartford Courant at the University of Connecticut 
  • Oct. 15, hosted by The Day and WTNH at the Garde Theater in New London
  • Oct. 18, hosted by the Connecticut Broadcasters Association in Hartford

Fifth District 

It's a tale of two polls. A pro-Elizabeth Esty poll showed the Democrat leading Republican Andrew Roraback by nine points. A more recent poll commissioned by the Roraback campaign tells a different story. National Research Inc. interviewed 400 likely voters and found Roraback leading by a 42-35 percent margin.

Exactly why do you need to read these reports Elmer Davis? The cause of death was gunshot wounds.Read More Why do you need more than that, and why do you feel your curiosity for details outweigh the need for privacy? I agree with Aurelia and support her. You're acting like the Connecticut Council on Freedom is a government agency. It is a non-profit foundation and the quote from James Smith is only an opinion. It certainly does NOT carry any more weight than anyone else's, including mine, the victim's families, and the vast majority of decent people living in this town.
