Does Ned Lamont live in this district, by any chance?
If he does, shouldn't you guys in CT be trying to convince him to run against Shays? Just a thought. |

This was a tough campaign to beat Shays. I talked to many indepennts who liked Shays ,when iI made phone calls. . He is tought to beat as the two Farrell loses show.
The party has to look for other striog candidates for 08. We cannot ever give up and never concede the seat to the Republicnans. The Lieberamna/Lamont race hurt Farrel. Tha Farell and Lamont camapigns crossed. The town comittees semm to be very weak in organizing. I was so happy to win the House and then the Sentae. I am still very disappointed about the 06 race and not optimistic oabout 08. Someome find us a good candidate please. |
