• On Thursday, Democratic candidates running for the gubernatorial nomination debated each other at WVIT studios. You can watch the video footage of the debate below the fold.


• Congressman John Larson came on ABC's Sunday morning show This Week and declared that the Democrats have the votes to pass health care reform.



• Mary Glassman made an appearance on the Stan Simpson show to talk about her gubernatorial campaign.



• With Connecticut being state with the highest achievement gap in the country, ConnCAN's Chief Executive Officer Alex Johnston and education advocate Danielle Smith came on the Stan Simpson show to talk about the state of the Race to the Top education initiative

  
  



• Is Merrick Alpert a juvenile, or someone who's starving for attention?


• New London Day columnist David Collins takes aim at Greenwich millionare Linda McMahon's idiotic name for her yacht.
  

  There was a coffee-spewing moment in Connecticut's U.S. Senate race this week, when the Stamford Advocate, in a story in its Sunday edition on the trappings of wealth emerging in state politics, disclosed that Linda McMahon and her husband own a 47-foot powerboat named Sexy Bitch.

  [...]

  What I can't imagine is how anyone could pick that name for a boat, paint it on the transom and wave from it to passers-by.

  Does the name appear on T-shirts and hats worn by crew, or on the boat's glasses, dishes and towels?

  What would happen if the boat started to sink and you had to call the Coast Guard? Wouldn't you be embarrassed to identify yourself?

  And what if Linda McMahon were to win? The next time SB powers into a Connecticut harbor, attracting finger pointing and snickers, could parents point with pride and say: "Look kids, there's our senator!"

  Maybe I'm a prude on this, but I think her boat's name is reason alone to question McMahon's suitability for the job. Another good one is that she's hardly ever even bothered to vote.

  Where are the family-values Republicans when you need them?

  
  I've been wondering that same question also seeing that McMahon made her money from indoctrinating kids with images of simulated sex, necrophilia, violence and steroid usage
