The Connecticut Post - the largest newspaper in Fairfield County - has endorsed Republican Dan Debicella over Democratic incumbent Jim Himes in the hotly contested race in the Fourth Congressional District.
The Post's editorial said that "Washington is dysfunctional'' and noted that the district has been represented by independent Republicans dating back to Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. and Stewart McKinney.
Himes defeated Republican Christopher Shays, who had held the seat for 21 years, in the 2008 election as candidate Barack Obama generated a huge turnout of Democratic voters in Bridgeport.
