Back.....

I've been AWOL for a while, and my apologies for those who might have stopped by and found no new entries. Things have been busy this week.

As first noted on the site a week ago, it now appears that at least one of the scheduled three television debates with U.S. Senate candidates has been firmed up. Monday, Oct. 23 at the Garde Arts Center in New London with ABC Washington correspondent George Stephanapoulos moderating the event and local reporters on the panel asking questions. It will be broadcast live on the local ABC affiliate, WTNH Channel 8.

Additional debates are planned with the CBS and NBC affiliates, with the networks providing one of their top political reporters/anchors as moderators.

But there's a far more interesting forum being planned for Saturday, Sept. 30 at Middlesex College featuring gubernatorial and congressional candidates. The forum is organized and driven by Connecticut Parent Power, a coalition of groups such as the NAACP, social service and health care providers - and parents concerned about issues they deal with on a daily basis.

What's interesting is that all the candidates running for governor and congress have been invited - and yet not all the candidates have committed to attend. It will be interesting to see who actually shows up.

And finally, what have I missed these past few days? What's on your mind?
