08/24/10 GREENWICH BRIEFING: Lawyer for disgraced Shays' aide wants mental health evaluation to factor in at sentencing

This Just In To The Greenwich Roundup Newsroom ......
Michael Sohn, congressman Christopher Shays' former campaign manager, leaves federal court in Bridgeport in December 2009....

On The Night Of The Democratic Primary Greenwich Roundup Received An Email From Congressman Jim Himes' Campaign Manager Mark Henson That Had The Subject Line "Meet Dan Debicella"
Greenwich Roundup Took The Middle Of The Road Position And Posted The Campaign Email Raw Word For Word Including Mark Henson's Signature Line.
Greenwich Roundup Let Their Readers See What Was Out There And Left It Up To Those Readers To Decide How To Independently Process What To Think About The Latest Propaganda From Jim Himes' Congressional Campaign.
The Fairfield Minuteman Took What Some Might Call The High Road And Denounced Mud Slinging And Promised To Protect You The Reader From Getting Splattered.....
Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Last week's primaries for various state and federal offices served the desirable purposes of focusing our attention on the narrowed-down group of candidates who will now vie for our support in the Nov. 2 general election, and eliminating from contention a good number of the mud-slingers who ended up losing.
Unfortunately, some of the mud-slingers ended up winning last week......
....Then there was the "Meet Dan Debicella" email we received last Tuesday night, even before the final votes were counted, from Congressman Jim Himes' campaign manager.
The email called Debicella, who won the GOP nomination for the Fourth District congressional seat, "radical," "reckless" and "wrong" on the issues, and talked about a "troubling history" stretching back to his college years.
No specifics given.
Oh, and by the way, send money, "as much as you can afford," so Himes can defeat this upstart State Senator.
On-line donations welcomed.
We weren't born yesterday (far from it).
We know what political argument is, and we know that politicians are prone to exaggeration, especially in a tight campaign.
We also know what running scared looks like.
And to bring up a candidate's record in the student assembly in college strikes us as jumping the shark. Is this the way it's going to be, boys and girls?
Let's hope not.......

....We won’t use letters that appear to be sent from campaign headquarters — a bunch of supporters gathering in the evening to write letters, saying virtually the same thing, with the only real difference being the name at the end....


.....And we also won’t publish letters whose only purpose is to direct personal attacks on candidates. Letters like these don’t accomplish anything beyond cheapening public discourse.


We welcome letters on the issues, and we look forward to promoting rational debate as the election nears. We hope the candidates do the same.
