28 days and counting...
Last night's U.S. Senate debate between Richard Blumenthal and Linda McMahon was more of draw than awin for either -- but with the slight advantage going to Blumenthal. Neither caniddate hurt themselves, and clearly Blumenthal was far more aggressive then he has been -- which was important for him. So int erms of expectations — and there were a lot riding on Blumenthal's back — point to Blumenthal.
Where McMahon may have lost points was in her inability to answer questions, but quite frankly I'm not convinced that many people cared, so no points lost there. She got in a few jabs, and so did he, so that was a draw.
Quite frankly, the most disappointing part of the debate had nothing to do with the candidates, but more to do with the questioning -- and those asking the questions. Chris Keating from the Courant did a good job, but his fellow panelists from Fox61 were lacking.
Tonight, the two gubernatorial candidates go at it. Same time, same place.
