The Groton Democratic Town Committee unanimously endorsed Richard Blumenthal for the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate. The endorsement was widely perceived as a blow to former GTDC member Merrick Alpert, in whose support no voice was raised.
The committee also endorsed Joe Courtney for Congress, Nancy Wyman for State Comptroller, Andy Maynard for State Senate, Fred Palm for Judge of Probate, Ted Moukawsher for State Representative from the 40th District, and Elissa Wright for State Representative from the 41st District. All of these candidates are running unopposed for their nominations. The committee also endorsed Kevin Lembo for Lieutenant Governor, with the understanding that it would support the eventual gubernatorial candidate’s choice, should he or she want someone else.
Getting back to Merrick, he has been labeling Blumenthal a “chicken” for not agreeing to more debates. Why is politics the only profession in which schoolyard taunts are considered anything other than bizarre behavior?
