  • BLUMENTHAL PINS Mcmahon by 25 POINTS in CONNECTICUT, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; MOST VOTERS SAY VIETNAM ISSUE DOESN’T IMPACT VOTE
    Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D. Director, Quinnipiac University Poll (203) 582-5201 FOR RELEASE: MAY 27, 2010 BLUMENTHAL PINS McMAHON BY 25 POINTS IN CONNECTICUT, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; MOST VOTERS SAY VIETNAM ISSUE DOESN’T IMPACT VOTE Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal leads former wrestling executive Linda McMahon 56 – 31 percent in the U.S. Senate race and tops the Republican candidate by large margins on every character measure, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. This compares to a 61 – 28 percent Blumenthal lead over McMahon in a March 17 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. McMahon leads the Republican primary for U.S. Senate with 49 percent, followed by former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons with 23 percent and businessman Peter Schiff with 11 percent, with 15 percent undecided. Simmons announced after one night of the survey that he was suspending his campaign, but that his name would remain on the GOP primary ballot. Connecticut voters approve 76 – 16 percent, including 63 – 31 percent among Republicans, of the job Blumenthal is doing as Attorney General. This compares to a 79 – 13 percent approval March 17. Blumenthal gets a 61 – 29 percent favorability, compared to a negative 32 – 39 percent favorability for McMahon. “It looks like Connecticut voters forgive Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, or feel that there is nothing to forgive in the Vietnam service flap. While he has taken a hit with voters, his poll numbers were so high to begin with that he still maintains a commanding lead over Linda McMahon,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz, PhD.

  • The United States House of Representatives
    THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES “Tough but doable” was the way Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Howard Wolfson described the Democrats' chances of taking back the House of Representative last Friday. Wolfson had a rough week. Charlie Cook, the respected non-partisan political analyst who is listened to by political reporters, and maybe more importantly, by political PACs, wrote that the math just didn’t seem to be there for the Democrats to pick up the net of six seats they’d need to regain control of the House. During the spring and summer, Cook believed that the Democrats could overcome "the math” with their strength on domestic issues. But, despite a slight edge (48% Democrat- 46% Republican) in the “generic ballot question" (“If the election were held today for Congress, for whom would you vote?”) Democrats haven’t put the issues together in a way to produce the tide it would take to move enough races to produce a Democratic House. Last summer, not only Cook, but top Democrats believed that the Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Anderson scandals, along with the plummeting stock market, had created a climate that could sweep the Democrats back. At one point they even fantasized that all 40 or so competitive races could break their way. But, by August, guns had replaced butter as the overarching national political theme, and the Democrats lost that “mo.” A driving force behind the vote on the Iraq resolution was burning desire by the Democratic leadership to get the focus back on the economy. Indeed, the day after the vote, House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle held a high profile economic forum as a signal that the economy was the main concern of Democrats.

  • BRAC-2005 11624.Pdf
    DCN: 11624 Statement by The Hon. Rob Simmons Member of Congress, CTl2 BRAC Commissioners' Site Visit Naval Submarine Base New London Groton, CT, Wednesday, June 1,2005 Chairman Principi, Commissioners and members of the staff of the BRAC Commission, thank you for coming to the Submarine Capitol of the World. That is what we call it, that is what we believe it is, and that is what we want it to be now and into the future. It is appropriate we are meeting in the Submarine Museum. There is no question in my mind that the military value of submarines is well displayed in this place, and that history continues to evolve in this unique center of excellence which unrivaled anywhere else in the world. w One year ago Navy Secretary England testified before the House Armed Services Committee on which I serve. I asked him if the BRAC process would evaluate the synergy that exists between our submarine base and all of the other subsurface maritime activities that are resident in this region. His response was: "We certainly have to consider everything that is interconnected. In fact, one of the things we are looking for is jointness and interconnectivity, et cetera. So in a larger sense what you described is what we will be looking at as our criteria in the whole BRAC process. I believe that will all be considered, sir. Mr. Chairman, I do not believe synergy was considered at all because if it was, there would be no logical reason to recommend closing SUBASE New London.

  • Yale Veterans Summit April 10-11, 2015 New Haven, Connecticut
    YALE VETERANS SUMMIT APRIL 10-11, 2015 NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT Bridging the Divide The Way Forward in U.S. Civil-Military Relations The Yale Veterans Summit is made possible by the generous support of our sponsors. TOM OPLADEN ’66 FRED NAGLE ’66 LUTHER I. REPLOGLE FOUNDATION 2 Welcome Message Throughout America’s history, Yale has maintained a strong tradition of service to the nation, even before the United States was a country. Esteemed Yale alumnus Nathan Hale epitomized this tradition by proclaiming, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country” during the American Revolutionary War. Thousands of Yale graduates have gone on to exemplify the words of Nathan Hale by dedicating their talents to a higher calling, participating in efforts to preserve peace and freedom throughout the nation and around the world. For generations, this spirit of service to the country has been captured by the resounding conclusion to Yale’s traditional college song, Bright College Years: “For God, For Country, and for Yale!” In 1916, Yale sophomore F. Trubee Davison launched what would become the first naval air reserve unit in U.S. military history. This move helped set the path for Yale graduates to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship, and government during the 20th century and beyond. During World War II, entire classes from the “Greatest Generation” left the university for years to answer their country's call to service. Many never returned back to Yale, and others came back to finish their studies on an accelerated schedule. Yale students and faculty challenged established practices during the Vietnam War, but facilitated conversations that enhanced the effectiveness of military policy by encouraging diversity in the ranks and restraint for unchecked use of military force.

  • Murphy up on Shays by 4, Mcmahon by 7 in CT
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 27, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Murphy up on Shays by 4, McMahon by 7 in CT Raleigh, N.C. – Chris Murphy remains Democrats’ strongest bet to hold Joe Lieberman’s soon-vacated Senate seat, with newly announced candidate Chris Shays the GOP’s surest horse to take it. Murphy leads Shays by a 43-39 margin; tops last year’s GOP nominee Linda McMahon, 50-43; and beats former Rep. Rob Simmons, 45-36. Former Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz leads McMahon only 47-46, and trails Simmons, 42-41, and Shays, 48-37. State Rep. William Tong trails Simmons and McMahon by seven points and Shays by 19. Murphy and Bysiewicz have declined by four to 10 points against McMahon and Simmons since PPP last polled the race in March; Shays and Tong were not tested then. Most of the shift is because the electorate is projecting as significantly more Republican than six months ago, with Democrats still at a +14 identification advantage. The candidates are holding almost identical levels of support within their own bases, but there have been some shifts toward the Republicans among the quarter of voters who identifiy as independents. Murphy led McMahon by six points in March, but now trails by five; he led Simmons by two, but now trails by two; he also trails Shays by nine with them.
