Weekend Poll #2

40% of respondents to the recent poll about the Democratic gubernatorial primary ranked "Ability to defeat Jodi Rell" as the most important issue to that vote. So, which candidate actually has that ability? Malloy? DeStefano? Neither? Both?

No staffers, please.

Democrats: Which candidate do you believe has the ability to defeat Jodi Rell in November?
Dan Malloy
John DeStefano
Both: She's toast!
Neither: Rell will stomp all comers

Oh, as for the other poll? No way am I masochistic enough to ask this crowd which candidate for Senate will do a better job on the Iraq War! Interesting that 43% chose that, though.

Selecting a candidate mainly because you believe them to be "electable" usually isn't a guarantee of winning. During the 2004 primaries, the main reason to select John Kerry was that he was more electable than the others, yet he still lost in the general election.

I really believe that John DeStefano will NOT win the August 8th Primary.Although he has Union Endorsements Lets be realistic How many of the Union Members ever follow the endorsements. When they or anyone of us go into a voting booth they can vote for whomever they choose.

DeStefano is weak in the 5th If not dead in the water(we all know why so I will not rehash it)The 4th is Malloy's turf The 3rd is about the strongest area for DeStefano The 2nd is a tossup and The 1st CD is split and just Because he picked Slifka doesnt change a lot of votes.

Dan Malloy has a lot of 5th CD Support and he has support elsewhere with the strength of 4th and 5th CD and I think he will pick up in 2nd and do well in 1st.

Malloy is a team player and is well organized While DeStefano plays the typical big city mayor looking to advance his career.

On August 8th Dan Malloy will be The UNDISPUTED Democratic Candidate for Governor and Joe Lieberman will be renominated for US Senator.

Then we go to November and send Jodi Rell and The Republican Team home and Lets get ready to give Rob Simmons,Chris Shays and Nancy Johnson their pink slips and their retirement watchs as we will elect Joe Courtney,Diane Farrell and Chris Murphy to Congress and maybe we can get some people in Washington DC who care

I just got off The DeStefano Website what a lovefest he and Slifka have going on and the problem is the big lie Continues.

Slifka said he was surprised that he was picked to run for LG That is the biggest load of cow manure I have ever seen.Slifka knew before he got to the convention he was DeStefano's Boy.

I just don't get why DeStefano picked a 32 year old ceremonial Mayor when he could of picked someone from the 5th CD who would of actually brought something to the ticket.

I think Malloy was really smart picking Mary Glassman she had 8 years experience as a First Selectwoman and this shows that she could step in if necessary.

I dont think Scott Slifka could step in. Also their Town Chairwoman needs to resign Because she had a hand in this deal to shaft Litchfield County and the 5th CD.Why do some of these Big City Town Chairs have to be big bullys.She is nothing but a bully and she needs to resign and let someone else in West hartford take the reins.
