Attorney General Candidates Debate.

Republican Susan Hatfield and Democrat Willam Tong created a debate from another planet Wednesday on WFSB. Host Dennis House and panelist Tim Fisher deserve recognition for not laughing aloud at some of the non sequiturs the candidates produced in response to serious questions. Neither candidate showed a basic grasp of the essentials of the job. The office’s first duty is to represent the State of Connecticut and its many legal affairs.

You can watch it here. It’s 28 minutes, but it does not take that long to get a sense of the encounter.
