Dan Malloy must wish his map looked like this. Mary Glassman picked up votes beyond those cast for Dan Malloy absolutely everywhere except for West Hartford. Her dominance of Litchfield and Fairfield Counties was total. Many, many towns that went for DeStefano also went for her. North Branford, FYI, is blank because the vote there was tied.
This is a decisive win by Glassman. It's puzzling why it didn't help Malloy more.

pimply faced 32 year old DLC members get no respect...Scott would have been a horrible candidate for the November elections..
Mary Glassman has a bright future in Connecticut Politics She is smart,energetic and she won the primary Because she worked very hard from The Convention to the Primary.
I would say she has to be in the 2010 mix somewhere If she isnt Lt Governor already.
Hey Bruce.....Why dont you run for Democratic State Party Chairman!!!!
Seriously you seem to have the knowledge of your many years of being involved.You should give it some real serious thought.
Mary was a reasonably incompetent First Selectman here in Simsbury. It was obvious all along she was only interested in higher office. Without her professional women's fan club she was pretty clueless on a local political level.
Bruce... Very good answer We do need someone at DSCC of your caliber and experience. Who is out there that you would consider a good solid State Chair Possibility
since you are not interested or do you think this will shake out after November.
My focus will be on Chris Jones (D)
for Senate for Statford and Shelton.
Forget this race for Governor.

Hey fello political geeks: NO ONE KNOWS THAT SLIFKA IS A DLC MEMBER AND NO ONE CARES!
No one knows what the DLC is and no one cares!
Repeat this until you learn it. The only people who have any idea what the DLC is is all of us - the time we spend talking about how bad the DLC is or isn't is essentially mental masturbation!
Don't believe me: go ask ten random people in any bar in the state - no one has any idea - some may remember it from Clinton 1992 - but they don't know what it is, does, stands for or anything else!
Mary won because she is 1.) better known to the extent either one of them was known, 2.) she's a woman and that matters a whole lot in CT politics!!!!!, and 3.) she worked her butt off throughout the primary season!
