From our office in Hartford, we Connecticut Republicans can only watch in horror. But life as an intern for the minority party does not consist solely of predicting the world's demise over the water cooler. In fact, I am running a cold campaign: helping town committee chairmen navigate campaign finance regulations, planning local television ads, and researching all that Congressman Murphy does wrong.
