Where We Live: Primary Madness

It’s a hot summer day in Connecticut.  People are at the beach, in the mountains, getting ready for a new school year.  And, oh yeah…it’s also primary day.

The August 10th primary may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but turnout could be the big story in key races around the state. 

In truth, until the dominoes started falling, this primary day might not have been anything special.  But with no Chris Dodd, no Jodi Rell, no Susan Bysiewicz and vacancies at Attorney General and Comptroller, all of a sudden party primaries have become a big and expensive story.

Today where we live – we kick off a day full of primary coverage with analyst Bill Curry and reporter Mark Pazniokas of the Connecticut Mirror.

We’ll look into the Governor’s race, the Senate race – big campaign spending on negative ads – and we’ll hear from you.  Are you zeroed in on politics in the middle of your summer vacation?
