Dem Senate candidates have 90-minute “conversation”

In case you missed it, here’s our report on Saturday night’s debate between the three major Democratic candidates vying for their party’s U.S. Senate nomination – U.S. Rep. Christopher Murphy, ex-Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz and state Rep. William Tong.

Held at Norwich Free Academy the event was billed as a “conversation” by host The Norwich Bulletin.

Moderator Ray Hackett of The Bulletin decided to shake-up the standard debate staging, replacing podiums with a semi-circle of chairs.

It was a nice change of pace.

Here’s a photo before the seats were occupied. Doesn’t it look cozy?
