Reporter Roundtable on House and Senate Races, Swing States

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Catie/Where%20We%20Live%2007-11-2012.mp3

In Connecticut, we’re only one month out from an important primary in two key races.

The Senate Race has lost a bit of its drama with front-runners Chris Murphy and Linda McMahon pulling out to big leads.

But in the race for the open 5th district seat, it’s still a wild showdown with federal investigations into two campaigns. Republican Lisa Wilson-Foley didn’t want to come on Where We Live to talk about her relationship with former Governor John Rowland, but she tried to clear the air on an internet talk show.

Democrat Chris Donovan hired a Republican former prosecutor to investigate claims that his campaign traded influence for cash. The investigation found no wrongdoing, but didn't talk to the key folks involved.

Political reporters Mark Pazniokas and Christine Stuart help us through the tangled web.

Meanwhile - National politcal reporter Anna Sale is swinging through those states that will help elect the next president.  We’ll catch up with her, and with you.
