Campaign Notebook: Murphy, Bysiewicz Spar Over Ad

News and updates on Connecticut's Senate and Third District races.

Senate

Chris Murphy (D): In response to Susan Bysiewicz defending her television ad accusing Murphy of accepting more contributions from Wall Street than any other Demcoratic candidate, Murphy criticized his Democratic rival's campaign ethics, . 

"I've never seen a candidate intentionally and willfully lie over and over again after she's been called to the carpet for it...The increasingly clear difference between Susan Bysiewicz and I is that she's wiling to say and do anything in order to get elected and ultimately I think voters are seeing that clearer than they're seeing any attack she's lobbing at me," he said. 

Linda McMahon (R): McMahon has received the most personal attacks going into the primary, according to Fox News. They say that the jabs at her wealth and political skills have been even worse than during the 2010 campaign. 

3rd District

After Wayne Winsley (R) watched Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D) speak at Quest Athletic and Physicians Physical Therapy, he released a statement comparing her to "Oliver Twist's" Artful Dodger.

"This week, I observed Incumbent Rosa DeLauro in front of a group of senior citizens in West Haven. As I watched her demeanor -- and listened closely to what she chose to say -- what came to mind was the character from Charles Dickens' 'Oliver Twist'... the Artful Dodger," he said. 

The statement then goes on to criticize her discussion of topics like social security and freedom of religion.
