For those who might be interested, Connecticut Local Politics has posted an interview with Alan Schlesinger, the dark-horse GOP candidate for Connecticut’s Senate seat.
The interview seems to be a decent distillation of the points Schlesinger tried to make in at least the first two debates. (I haven’t been able to catch a recording of the third debate yet.) However, I think a comment at CLP from “Colbert’s Eagle” merits repeating:
I am still not sure if I am going to vote for Schlesinger, but he is a great example of what can happen when you speak principled truth. Debates and campaigns should be about policies, not lies and smear. Schlesinger did that.
He made the Senate debates a lot more interesting and showed he was the most powerful one on the stage last night when he got the protester to shut up.
I love his cocky line at the end, too. Washington needs some new blood. Too bad our country is not ready for it.
Heck, I might just have to vote for the guy. I don’t agree with all of his positions, but I do appreciate a no-BS attitude…and I prefer to give my vote to minor candidates when races aren’t close.
