This is a HatCityBLOG LIVEBLOG event!

The trainwreck called the Cappiello campaign is coming to it's last stop before it totally breaks down on election day.

The last debate between Congressman Chris Murphy and David Cappiello happens today at 7:00 PM at the Portuguese Center and I'll be on hand capturing the moment on video. Now, I don't know if they have WiFi down at the Center but if they do, I'll see if I can carry the debate live online. If not, I'll have the video online by tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I'll be bringing you video clips, images, and commentary from the debate while it happens. The Danbury News-Times is also live blogging which you can view by clicking here.

NOTE: This liveblog starts at the BOTTOM of the post. In other words, the most recent post will be at the TOP of this thread!

...and here...we...go.

10:30: Well, as with most live blog attempts, this one was MUCH harder than expected. My cell phone and blogger didn't want to work together so I was unable to post photos, video and text from my phone to the blog. What made matters worse was the fact that there was Wifi in the Center but I didn't expect that so I left my computer at home.

No need to fear, I spent my time filming the debate and getting reactions which...for a LARGE extent favored Murphy and gave a resounding THUMBS down to Cappiello.

After listening to his closing remarks, that it seems like even Cappiello sees the writing on the wall and he knows he's toast. His answers to questions made NO SENSE...hell some of the questions MADE NO SENSE.

....okay, I'll hold off opinion until I edit and upload the video but I'll say that this race is NOTHING like the race in 2006...that meaning that Cappiello didn't run a campaign as a challenger as effective as Murphy did against Johnson.

6:25: I'm off to the event...more reports later! Remember, you can also join in the conversation over at the News-Times site...


5:15: While I'm capturing video reports from people who are REALLY angry with all the Cappiello signs on city-owned property OR on their own property WITHOUT PERMISSION, here's a cross post I did on ConnecticutBLOG on Murphy and Cappiello's appearance on Fox61's Beyond the Headlines The Real Story.

On Fox61's Beyond the Headlines The Real Story, Chris Murphy showed why he'll have no problem winning re-election in his conversation with David Cappiello.

While James Galantes's best friend whined and tried to attack the freshman Congressman with nonsense (going as far as to pull an O.J. Simpson talking points out of his ass), Murphy actually talked about issues that are on the minds of the people in the 5th district.

Grab your popcorn, the Cappiello train wreck is a treat to watch.

5:00: From their first debate, here's video footage of Chris Murphy basically making Cappiello look like a whiny kid who had too much sugar.



4:50: Well, the David Cappiello campaign made asses of themselves and pissed off just about EVERYONE in the Germantown area today with their IDIOTIC lawn sign droppings.

Seriously, there is A LAW against placing lawn signs on city owned property OR on property without permission but I guess Danbury's native son thinks he's above the law. Starting yesterday afternoon, the Cappiello morons started dropping lawn signs ALL OVER THE PLACE annoying the hell out of everyone. My inbox was flooded with complaints from angry readers wondering where they should voice their anger and many of them just went out and pulled the signs up themselves.

If you think you see one of Cappiello's annoying lawn signs in a city owned land or in a improper place, take a photo and email it (and the location of the sign) to hatcityblog@yahoo.com. Several of you have already sent me photos (as well as one reader who was so upset that he shot video of the signs around his neighborhood.

I've talked to people at City Hall requesting contact info of the person to forward the complaints to and I'll provide that info later.

(NOTE: Cappiello has been placing signs on the HIGHWAY in Newtown and Brookfield in the past as well. Those towns have since removed the signs and are really pissed off at Cappiello right now).
