Actually, I am announcing this evening at Stonebridge in Milford Center — 7 p.m.

The Internet has some wonderful things on it and some of it is even true.

I’ve no idea what she actually said. I do remember it getting some play at the time but to be fair half the House and Senate were rambling wrecks during the long bailout hearings.

“You can’t travel in space, you can’t go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions – what are you going to land on – one-quarter, three-eighths?”

Amazingly, Rosa is channeling Dennis Hopper from Apocalypse Now–too close a reflection of too strange a quote for it to be chance.

Perhaps you’d like this one better?

Rose DeLauro kept Rahm Emmanuel as a basement cabana boy for five years.

Extreme Left and Extreme Right seem to be the operative phrases. One of the links links to something called “World Net Daily”, which is as nutty as it gets. Saying Stan Greenberg (DeLauro’s husband) “works” for Monsanto is a bit like saying he plays basketball for the Detroit Pistons.

My Left Nutmeg picked up on the Monsanto story and the banning of organic backyard gardens in favor of Monsanto approved chemically treated factory farms.

As did many other sites from the Left and Right. It’s one of the few areas where the extreme Left and Right have a common agenda–save the family farm.

It really begs the question of why she didn’t step aside on that bill given the perceived conflict of interest.

Rosa DeLauro’s contribution to the credit crisis and math in hearings on November 2008:

>> One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can’t travel in space, you can’t go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions – what are you going to land on – one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That’s dialectic physics. <<

Yes, Cyborg or Romulan is cruel and unjustified.

More like a Monsanto chemical product gone wrong.

Not quite enough to unseat her in this pseudo-liberal state. Maybe somewhere where they take food seriously.

Forgive me, but the “I’m a real person” thing always rubs me the wrong way. Is this meant to imply that Rose DeLauro (or anyone who doesn’t agree with Mrs. Rogers) is a cyborg?

Usually when politician wannabes say this, it means that they aren’t (yet) career politicians, like their opponents. I don’t think this implies that the opponent is a cyborg (Rosa has been jokingly called a Romulan, but a check of Wikipedia reveals that they aren’t cyborgs).

Rosa probably is one of the safest Democrats in the country; she’s not going to lose barring a major scandal. I’d say Himes could be beaten in a Republican wave, but there doesn’t seem to be a good candidate. Caliguiri may be a good candidate against Murphy, but that’s not my district so I don’t know that much about it. But the other three districts are solid Democrat…

New Haven Tea Party is not affiliated with FreedomWorks. While we have had email contact and a single meeting, they are not getting into the 3rd district race as far as I am aware. Finally, as it sits right now, the tea party movement across CT is not endorsing any candidate. What we are doing is disseminating information on all candidates, include Peggy Rogers, to our group. I asked Peggy Rogers to speak at the recent rally in Milford, and she accepted. Candidates that come to us are being given a forum to speak, nothing more, nothing less.

Organizer, New Haven Tax Day Tea Party
State Coordinator, Tea Party Patriots

Even if the winds of changes blow through New Haven county next November, I don’t see DeLauro Mountain getting blown away by 200 mph hurricane winds.

But if Dodd walks away, is there any chance that Rosa runs for Senate? If it were a Rosa / Murphy primary, I’d guess that Rosa wins. Is she raising money this cycle?

Unlike Larson, she’s probably no longer climbing the House leadership ladder. So she may actually be interested in an open Senate seat.
