Five days....and counting

If it's Thursday, it must be the US Senate race.

Incumbent U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman brings his "delivery" tour to eastern Connecticut today to tout his success in delivering the goods for the region. The highlight of the tour will be a campaign stop outside the U.S. Navy Submarine Base and featuring former Base Realignment & Closure Commission Chairman Tony Principi, the former Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Democratic nominee Ned Lamont and Republican challenger Alan Schlesinger will be in action as well, sharing a stage at Quinnipiac University for a live television debate. The one-hour forum will be broadcast on Fox 61 beginning at 7 p.m.

The polls show a tight race with Lieberman out front and Schlesinger making some small movement upwards - but still in single digits. The question is, however, how many potential voters are there who are still up fro grabs at this point. My sense is that people have made up their minds on this one, and there's very little left for the candidates to pick up. It's all defense at this point - holding on to what you got.

I agree with you Ray, pretty much everyone has made up their mind on the US Senate race a long time ago.

And now the question is...how many will actually come out on Tuesday and make their feelings known.

I think turnout (around here) will be average since the Governor's race is already decided as is US Senate race and Congress in the 2nd district.
