Streitz Eyes Middletown Straw Poll

--Hat tip to "Freedom Rider," who sent this along

Paul Streitz's Senate campaign is looking to win an upcoming straw poll in Middletown, partly with the help of people from out of state, according to an email message allegedly sent by his campaign.
he straw poll in Middletown will have the candidates speak, the newspapers will cover and the 11 o'clock news will have the story. Our opponent Alan Schlesinger is expected to be there.

The vote is among whoever shows up. So the more people we have concerned about immigration, the more likely we are to win.

"Immigration Control Candidate Wins Straw Poll Against Party Establishment"

If we have a victory, that is the kind of headline we could receive and it would be national news, on to all the internet sites. And send a chill up and down the spines (do they have any) of Senators and House members. If we lose, we have to make excuses.

I know that for some of you it is a good drive, but we expect some people from New Jersy and Massachusetts to be there. This is important.("Straw Poll")
Strange that he would be bringing people from New Jersey and Massachusetts to a Connecticut straw poll.

Hopefully the more moderate Schlesinger will draw a decent amount of support. Interesting that he'll be there... I wonder when he'll announce?

What it should really say is:

"Come one, come all! If you leave Alabama now, you can get here just in time for our pre-game cross burning! And after we win the straw poll we're going to the Taco Bell to lynch the night manager! It's fun for the whole family."

Disclaimer: No one with a full set of teeth will be allowed into the voting area.

Streitz hates illegal immigrants, but apparently has no problem with people voting illegally.

This has as much relevance as the latest Newton charge. Ernie was a small time operator. Both 'events' aren't even blips on the radar screen.

The Senate is nearing a deal as reported by the AP here on the immigration issue so that could take away some of this guy's thunder, which is hardly even a fart anyway.

And it isn't CT Local but here anyway is something on Scooter Libby's latest stuff.

Yeah... but it's been kind of a slow day.

That Schlesinger guy is going to be there. He might be worth meeting.

Streitz makes Schlesinger look like a rock star. He's the best opening act around.

Bluecoat: Actually "farts" are a key piece of Streitz's campaign. Among his myriad presentations is one where he illustrates the sharp reduction in U.S. ambient methane levels if Hispanics and their "gassy" foods are sent back to Mexico.

I thought I heard he had a lawsuit pending against Goya for this.

in the daily pork report here from the NHR on-line is HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Nearly five years after an elderly Oxford woman died of inhalation anthrax, the state Wednesday dedicated a new mobile field hospital in her memory.
The $8.25 million dollar hospital, funded by state bond money, includes a series of tents and is roughly the size of a football field when all 100 beds are set up.

The hospital is designed for any situation where people need to be quarantined because of anthrax, another biological agent or a chemical agent.

It can also be used for large-scale disasters when emergency crews expect to be on scene for a long time, like the collapse of L'Ambiance Plaza in Bridgeport in 1987.


"We can go anywhere. We can set up anywhere," said Dr. J. Robert Galvin, commissioner of the Department of Public Health. "This is a fantastic facility. There's nothing like this currently in existence in the United States."


Would the hospital have saved her life? No. would NYC or DC want one or need one? Not that I have ever heard of. Team Rowland lives!!!!

Aye, aye there Admiral. The Mexicans I have come across over the years in this country work their butts off. And unlike the dumb Americans they won't even touch a bottle of Corona even with a lime in it. Aye keyrumba.

Why do liberals call themselves progressives? Are you embarassed to call yourself what you really are? Can someone please explain this? I mean if you are a proud liberal why would you want to be considered a progressive? It makes no sense unless you don't want people to know you are a liberal and are using the word progressive as a cover.

That's the problem. Newton's charge certainly was not irrelevant. The guy held office and took bribes and delivered on those bribes. To minimize that is, well, just plain wrong.
We shoul dhave ZERO tolerance from the kind of behavior -- from Republicans or Democrats.

Some info on the Middletown Straw Poll, which is a charitable event.

100 beds is pretty darn big. Would NYC have used that on 9/11? Absolutely. Its a terrorist tool. It could also be used as it was mentioned, for widespread illness control like in the early 1900s. If there were any mass casualty incident, a hospital of that size would be used. Hopefully we have agreements for pretty much the entire eastern seaboard though to ship it if we need to. The country only needs a few of those - as long as it can be in operation within 24 hours would be excellent.
