Earlier today I wrote about the last minute desperate lies coming from Jim Himes in the 4th congressional district of Connecticut. Tonight there is a poll out that explains some of that desperation. The poll from CT Capitol Report/MRG has Debicella at 48% and Himes at 46%. This is the first poll of the election year that puts Himes behind his challenger. Each of the earlier polls had Himes ahead, but the margin kept getting smaller and smaller. So now Debicella has moved ahead and Himes' upset at the situation is understandable. It is too bad, however, that Himes feels that he has to lie to try to regain the lead. Himes' big mistake was not running a positive campaign where he gave voters a reason to select him. Instead, his whole campaign has been one smear after another directed at Debicella. Once Debicella was able to show the district that he is not the bogeyman that Himes claims him to be, Himes whole campaign fell apart.
Let's just hope that Himes' last minute lies are unsuccessful.

Subject: ***drum roll*** ... THE Christmas rotation
Hello family,
I CAN'T WAIT for all of us to be together again at Christmas. Completely wonderfully specially amazingly fantastic. :-)
This years rotation of gift giving was complicated by the fact that we have had TWO additions to the family since last year, so there has been quite a bit of shuffling around of the list (don't worry, it's of very little inconvenience ... feel free to keep 'em coming!). Please let me know if there are any problems, I am always happy to rework it. But lets assume that it's allll gooood if I haven't heard back from you within a day or two.
So here goes:
Dad giving to CCDIII
Mom to Henry
Chris Jr to Dad
Elizabeth to Alice
CCDIII to Cat
Emmeline to Dan
Dan to Chris Jr.
Lizzy to Emmeline
Henry to Jake
Alice to Mom
Ben to Elizabeth
Cat to Lizzy
Jake to Ben
Safe travels to Mom who is taking off for Tel Aviv shortly. We love you!
Hugs all around,
Lizzy
PS - Can I please make a little note that, due to the Completely wonderfully specially amazingly fantastic circumstances in which we are all going to be together for Christmas, if you feel the need to do a miniature little token something-or-other for someone special, I won't hold it against you. For example, I might have the need to stick a teensy tiny little fuzzy something in all the kids stockings, or to make some lovely cookies or something. And I am declaring that is allowed. :-D
