What's happening today?

There's an article in the Courant which details just how press-happy Richard Blumenthal is.

Audrey,

I don't think you meant to, but you also posted this in a slightly more recent post. I deleted the duplicate entry.

I'm glad to see that the working group is at least active: any idea of whether there will be a bill this year?

DeanFan,

I've actually heard the same rumor once or twice. She's still acting like a candidate, going around to town committee meetings and such, but her fundraising is lagging and her website hasn't changed in six months.

She may end up as the Lt. Gov. choice. A DeStefano/Bysiewicz or a Malloy/Bysiewicz ticket would be very interesting. A Blumenthal/Bysiewicz ticket is probably out of the question (since he won't run), but that would be another strong pairing.

She could also be the party chair, I suppose, but there's really nowhere else for her to go.

Everything I ever read about Susan seems to indicate that she wants to be governor more than anything. She has worshipped Ella Grasso her entire life and wants to emulate her. In fact it prob burns her up a bit that Rell got to be the second female Gov. of CT.
As far as were this leaver her, who knows? If Blumenthal joins, I heard she might run for the AG nod against Jepsen. She is young, so she can always run for Guv. again.

Anonymous,

You're right about Bysiewicz's Ella Grasso obsession... an article I read a long time ago said that whenever she took guests and media into the Capitol, she pointed out Ella's statue and broadly hinted that she'd be joining her up there someday.

Of course, she may yet turn her fundraising numbers around. We'll see.
