Rell ahead by, well, a lot. 28%, in fact.

Massachusetts is having its primary today. Deval Patrick is expected to win big.

What else is happening?

If you label a person or an idea properly, Lenin said, you do not have to argue with it. If Rell is a conservative, I'm a can of anchovies.

I see John Larson & Scott MacLean faced off against other on WFSB's "Face The State."

Hartford Courant report characterized it as intense debate.

Looks like must see TV. Airs Sunday morning at 11 AM on Channel 3.

Here is a link to Terzi's Report on the Larson-MacLean debate.

Now that's a funny clip by Terzi. MacLean attacks Larson for voting against a bill because it included massive taxpayer handouts to big oil companies. (Even though the bill also helped the fuel cell industry.) Then, MacLean admits that he'd have voted against the bill. Only, he'd do it "for other reasons."

Ooookaaaaay... You agree with the Congressman's vote, but you're going to attack him for it anyway. So Mr. MacLean, you're saying that you like corporate welfare for big oil companies?

Priceless.

I hate to admit it, but I think I agree with ACR on this one. The GOP really did nominate a wingnut.

THANK YOU!

The man is simply awful.

Our odds in the 1st are horrific as it's the only district in the state with such a substantially higher number of registered Dems than even Unaffiliateds.

We (the GOP) could have at least gotten some work done in an area where CT Republicans are weak; but instead seem to have chosen to run someone more liberal than the current occupant of the office.

I remain amazed by the whole thing.

What I can't understand is how JDS broke 30%

Murphy is out push polling tonight in Cheshire. Anyone else get his biased anti-Republican "poll" out there?

hey, where is the DeStefano guy out there claiming the lead was down to 18 points and shrinking?

Anonymous said...

LMAO Anon. 7:26. He is probably posting on MLN or some other completely out-of-touch with reality blog where they actually believe DeStafno has a shot.

Speaking of that, where's BR, truebluect or any JDS supporter.

The fat lady is singing boys!

Police Officer David Gugliotti is suing Stratford Mayor James Miron,
the Town Council, and the Police Chief, concerning the police officer's
arrests of Councilman Alvin O'Neil and a 15 year old girl in March. He
is suing over being placed on 60 day administrative leave, saying it
violated both the police union's collective bargaining agreemant and his
civil rights. The arrests sparked accusations of police brutality and
racism. He claims the Mayor tried to sway the investigation in favor
of the Mayor's friend,Councilman O'Neil. O'Neil interfered with the girl's
arrest and was therefore arrested himself.

Well, the lawsuit is correct. But he should only sue Miron. I will say no
more on that topic. He wants to sue the Town Council because they did not remove the
Councilman. That is unfair because the Town Council does not have the
power in the Charter to remove one of its members. The Police Chief
should not be sued because he is a good guy who got caught in the middle.

His lawyers of course are saying sue everyone. How this will all turn out
is that there will be an undisclosed settlement in the officer's favor.
No one will admit guilt. Basically the officer wins as he should! Yippee!
