No excuses now. Democrats can no longer blame Republicans for failing to live to pass legislation. With over-riding power I expect Dems to offer comprehensive property tax once and for all!! They've been talking about it for years, now let's see it!!!
That should be issue #1, anonymous. Think Jim Amann is reading?
Don't forget Ed Krumeich (D) almost beating the odious Claudia "Dolly" Powers (R) in Greenwich. GREENWICH!!!
Missed deposing the third-ranked Republican by 132 votes. In GREENWICH
I am still stunned by the 30th district race. I can understand the results from Berlin, but how did Pocock lose Southington?
Pocock lost Southington because people genuinely like Joe Aresimowicz, who is a very nice guy and a hard working legislator, and saw through Ed's negative campaign. Along with winning Pocock's hometown, Aresimowicz absolutely annihilated him in Berlin. Interesting that ACR hasn't commented lately (or I haven't seen it) -- just a few days ago he was predicting a clear Pocock win and maligning Joe.
