Bozek is the spoiler in this election. With Rick Lopes being endored by Big Betha Lewis of the Working Familes and having the boots on the ground from New York knocking on doors what chance does Peter Steele have to WIN?

Lawmakers Can't Agree On New Congressional Districts & Sends Decision To State Supreme Court.

HARTFORD — The task of redrawing the state's congressional boundaries will fall to the Connecticut Supreme Court after a legislative commission riven by partisan bickering and deep ideological conflict was unable to finish the job.

The heavily Democratic City of New Britain is at the heart of the disagreement. Republicans want to move the working class community with a large minority population into the 1st Hartford Congressional District; while Democrats want it to remain in the 5th District. The stakes are high for both sides because the 5th will be an open seat in 2012 and voters in New Britain could play a key role in determining what political party prevails.

State Rep. Robert Sanchez, a New Britain Democrat, said there was no outcry from residents of his city to be added to the 1st District.

"We want to stay in the 5th District,'' he said during a press briefing about an hour after the commission announced it was unable to reach agreement. "Leave the maps the way they are. ... The biggest issue that we have ... is the amount of influence that were going to lose ... if New Britain is moved out" of the 5th in to the 1st District.

FORCED UNIONS is exactly what Democrats mean. They will not stop until every American is required to be a member of union as a condition their citizenship. Once they succeed in forcing you to buy health insurance against your will, don't you think requiring you to pay your hard earned money to a socialist union can't be far in the future?
