Blumenthal was a far, far better candidate than Linda. She ducked questions and blew the question asking what was the min. hourly wage. Her platform was to only bring up Blumenthal's statement. Blumenthal had a long history of helping vets out (I know he served). He made that statement 2 times and they had tape of him many other times saying he didn't serve in Vietnam. That statement rightfully cost him votes. Rob Simmons would have been a much better candidate and I think he was a CIA agent. SImmons criticizing him for the statement would have been much stronger and maybe put him over the top. Once Linda beat Simmons, it gave the election to Blumenthal.
Didn't Linda and Vince get the business from their dad? They declared bankruptcy at one point. I'm glad they're in Ct. with those good jobs.
