During his victory speech in Iowa last night, President Sen. Barack Obama claimed victory in the pledged delegate count:
“And tonight, in the fullness of spring, with the help of those who stood up from Portland to Louisville, we have returned to Iowa with a majority of delegates elected by the American people, and you have put us within reach of the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.”
The speech followed his 35 point loss in Kentucky and his 16 point win in Oregon. And he followed that with an endorsement by Connecticut Rep. Joe Courtney, increasing his lead in that category as well.
Hillary, on the other hand, following her meaningless victory in Kentucky is now $21 million in debt. So that means, despite the fact that she knows she cannot possibly win anything but maybe an amateur staring contest, she has to keep trying to raise money to pay off her bills. Too bad that Hatfield kid’s bike and video game loot got squandered. Doesn’t sound like she’s make a very fiscally responsible Commander in Chief to me.

Quick question. The Vernon Republicans asked the Vernon Democratics to debate Sean Sullivan.
The Sean Sullivan teamed ask for 12 debates JUST LIKED COURTNEY debated Rob Simmons !!!
So after 5 weeks of ignoring us… Courtney’s lame answer is he will only debate 5 TIMES, not 12 !!!
And HE BLEW OFF Vernon, his so called Home Town.
Maybe Vernon is really not his home town just like Sam Gejdenson was really not from Montville. BUT lived out his district in Branford, CT.
Obviously, MR Courtney is NOT true to his word.
