<p>I would think the slogan might see more useful play in the Congressional races in CT-2 and CT-5, currently held by GOP incumbents who've taken large donations from Exxon/Mobil. Democrat voters may think first of Congressional delegates from Texas or Oklahoma when they hear the expression "big-oil Republicans", but "big-oil Republicans" are prominent in the GOP delegations sent from non-oil-producing states, as well. </p>Matt commented on 'Lieberman - "Fighter Of 'Big-oil Republicans.'"'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345213db69e200d834b44beb69e22006-03-30T06:40:33Z2007-08-18T12:15:42ZMattI'm sorry, but I have trouble taking any ad seriously that claims the sewage dump otherwise known as Long Island...<p>I'm sorry, but I have trouble taking any ad seriously that claims the sewage dump otherwise known as Long Island Sound is "Connecticut's national treasure."</p>
<p>It has a wealth of wildlife, and its oysters help Norwalk's economy, but until it gets even more cleaned up than recent efforts have accomplished, I can't call it a national--or natural--treasure.</p>
