Conscience vs. Delegates? No Contest As Conventions Near.

Watch for a stunner as the Bridgeport casino starts to light up the state Senate in its waning hours. MGM and its allies are on the verge of snagging that prisoner of conscience, state Senator Paul Doyle (D-Wethersfield).

Doyle is a candidate for the Democratic nominations for attorney general. Nearly 100 delegates from Bridgeport would guarantee Doyle, who cast a critical vote against the Democratic state budget last year, a spot on the August primary ballot.

Groceries? No, delegates are driving the casino battle tonight.
