Campaign Briefs

Rep. Hank Bielawa (R-Redding) is retiring. He won his seat by 87 votes in 2004. This seat is very much up for grabs, one of the few open seats that's going to be truly competitive.

Also, it looks like former Democrat Frank Lecce, who is the only Republican running for treasurer so far, may soon find himself off the ticket. East Windsor First Selectwoman Linda Roberts may be the Republicans' choice, according to the Journal-Inquirer.

Lastly, Democrats are having a hard time finding candidates in Greenwich. Anybody?

Update Check out this story, posted over at Connecticut Bob, of Sen. Lieberman's handling of someone who isn't fond of him. The pictures chosen aren't meant to show him in a particularly good light (Bob's not a fan, either), but the body language, as Bob says, really does speak volumes. Wow.

Abbate's still kicking around out there, although he hasn't been too active from what I can see.

DeRosa's a serial candidate with a radio show who annoys the hell out of me. I'll pass. Frankly, I was pretty excited about all of the talented candidates who were vying to replace her last year, before she dropped out of the gubernatorial race. John Nussbaum, in particular, impressed me, although Andrew Fleischmann, Audrey Blondin or Evelyn Mantilla would have done a good job, too. I don't know a thing about Norma Rodriguez Reyes.

Oh, and more on the Lieberman vs. Voter thing over at CT Bob.
