Rell Won't Endorse Schlesinger in Debate
The New Haven Indy has a nice roundup of the gubernatorial debate, which sounds like it was a TKO for DeStefano. He had a great response to Rell's non-answer on the Senatorial question:
"I think all of the candidates that are running for United States Senate have special expertise in their own way," said Rell. Noting her reply wasn't flying with Davis, she said, "I'm trying to answer your question, Mark, I will tell you honestly, they all bring something different to the table, and each one of them is, um, I think representative of their constituencies at every step of the way."
"The question is which one is best for the next six years?" Davis pressed.
Rell dodged again. "I think everyone in this audience would have a different opinion on which one is best for the next six years," said Rell.
DeStefano (pictured) couldn't resist the chance to attack: "I pray that I'll never be in politics so long that I'll give an answer like that."
