“I have never run against an opponent that I have respected less — ever — and there are a lot of candidates I have run against,” Shays said.
The Democratic Party has a Senate primary of its own between U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy and ex-Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz.
Bysiewicz and Shays are in the same position. The two lost the party nomination and, according to a recent Quinnipiac University poll, things are not looking good for them on primary day.
So following a Murphy/Bysiewicz debate this afternoon in Bridgeport I asked Bysiewicz if she will support her opponent should he defeat her in August.
“I would hope when I win Chris would support me,” Bysiewicz said. “If he wins, I will support him.”
