Repeating a phrase that has become the campaign mantra, Blumenthal spokeswoman Maura Downes said the campaign takes nothing for granted, not even with a 25 percentage point lead over Republican Linda McMahon.
"The people of Connecticut know they can count on Dick Blumenthal to stand up for them against even the toughest opponents, and that's what he'll do in the U.S. Senate,'' Downes said in an email. "Dick is taking nothing for granted in this race -- he is focused on listening to people on the issues that matter most to them, like jobs and the economy, and working hard to earn their support."
