My Left Nutmeg

At Long Last, a Phone Call

Just a quick update: Martha Dean finally conceded to George Jepsen, according to Connecticut News Junkie.

I personally can't wait to see George in action. As someone who will seek to challenge the Defense of Marriage Act, he will follow Massachusetts' example in challenging that law in federal court. Connecticut faces a somewhat similar set of legal standards for challenging the law when compared to Massachusetts (just a wee bit of background info). Anyway, you've all heard the pitch before, but he will be an amazing advocate for women's rights and gun control as well. I am very excited to see my new Attorney General at work, and I hope you are too.

update (ctb): George Jepsen released the following statement:

"As Attorney General, my door will always be open to Martha and her supporters as we all work together to get Connecticut moving again," Jepsen said. "Even while disagreeing on most issues, I always respected Martha Dean's sincerity, her intelligence, or her commitment to the people of Connecticut. Our contest showed that candidates can disagree without being disagreeable, let alone getting personal, something all too rare in today's politics."

Dean said the passage of time and the legislature would likely resolve any questions remaining on the eligibility criteria for Attorney General. "At this juncture, I believe the best path forward is allow the AG-elect to focus on trying to run the AG's Office in a way that helps pull Connecticut out of its severe crisis," Dean said.

controlling whose guns? (0.00 / 0)
and when the guns are controlled, who will have them?

are the people who spend hundreds to take the required courses, practice after buying (not stealing) a gun the ones who should surrender guns?

are these people who follow the law and fill out forms, take tests, come to state police barracks on the proper day the ones who misuse the guns?
