Politics this week

The Cheshire Republican Town Committee is meeting this Thursday, Jan 24 at 7:30pm in Town Hall. All registered Republicans are invited.

Also on the 24th will be a GOP debate. I don't know yet if Ron Paul will be included... though I'm sure Fred Thompson won't be. Earlier today he joined a growing list of GOP hopefuls -- Tommy Thompson, Jim Gilmore, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, Sam Brownback -- who have had their hopes dashed.

This Friday at 6pm in Middletown will be a CTGOP straw poll... acting as a precursor to the Feb 5 primaries.

This Saturday should be interesting in SC. I hope John Edwards does well... I'd like to see him stay in the race.
