MURPHY: The congressman's list of supporters in his campaign for Senate continues to grow. According to his campaign Web site, he has now been endorsed by 66 Democratic Town Committees, including Ed Morris, chairman of the East Lyme Democratic Town Committee, and a Committeeman for the 20th Senatorial District, since late last week.
