2. The Libertarian young guy brought attention to himself with his simple...

...answers to every problem (get out of Iraq by July 4 no matter what, repeal Social Security for people not getting it yet).

Chris Shays emphasized his hard work and experience and concluded that we need his experience on terrorism (which made sense to me until I remembered that he voted for the Iraq War Resolution and the Torture Bill which make the US even more hated.)

Diane Farrell admitted leaving Westport in debt, but said the money went to education at a time of a growing school age population.

I still support Diane Farrell after watching her for a long time for the first time.

3. Thanks

The first time I heard Farrell on radio, I was not too impressed - she just seemed to spout off talking points and showed no ability to be spontaneous.

However, the last few times I've heard her on local radio here in CT, she's done much better and seemed quite personable.
