Here's a great video on the very first 5th Congressional debate between then Congresswoman Nancy Johnson and Chris Murphy. If youdidn't attend this debate, then you're in for a treat!
This video wouldn't have been possible without the help of the great Spazeboy.
After the debate, several people had something to say about Johnson's bizzare statements...
As a sidenote, Chris Murphy had a big send off party last night but due to car problems, I was unable to attend. Luckily My Left Nutmeg and Spazeboy was on the scene and came back with a message from Murphy to the online community.
Finally, one of the best newspapers in the state, The Journal Inquirer has the final figures on the money spent between the two campaigns.
In the 5th District, the longtime Republican incumbent, former Rep. Nancy L. Johnson, spent $5,010,466 - slightly more than twice as much as her successful challenger, Cheshire Democrat Christopher Murphy, who spent $2,414,769.Just goes to show that money can't always buy you an election and further illustrates the Democrats' great grassroot campaign in the fifth district.
