Senate debate tonight

Don't expect to hear anything new tonight when the three major candidates in the U.S. Senate race take to the stage at the Garde Arts Center in New London for the third and final debate. Niether of the two previous debates broke any new ground, so it's hard to believe that tonight's debate will lend itself to anything new.

What we will see, however, is a bit more spirited discussion. Time is now beginning to run out, and polls are suggesting that the challengers are not making as much headway in this contest as they would have liked. U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman is holding a 17-point lead over his chief rival Ned Lamont, and despite garnering all the ink from the first two encounters, GOP challenger Alan Schlesinger has yet to see his campaign catch fire - or even begin to smoulder for that matter.

After tonight...it becomes nothing but a TV Ad campaign for the final two weeks - and we all know how effective they are.

But tonight could be entertaining nonetheless. The debate begins at 8 p.m. and will be braodcast on WTNH Channel 8.
