What do We Really Know About Tom Foley, NTC Inc. and the Bibb Mill? (via GroundUp CT)

Another reason to vote for Dan Malloy and Nancy Wyman. Connecticut cannot afford to have Foley at the helm; we’re in enough trouble as it is. Just look what he did to the employees of the Bibb Mill. As you

Wright vs. Nappier. If it Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It.

There are reasons why we keep sending Connecticut State Treasurer Denise Nappier back to office — again and again. She has done an exemplary job, despite a fledgling economy and a governor who has done much to work against us. Her track

At last count, Connecticut has fifteen candidates running for governor, nine for secretary of state, ten for attorney general, and ten for US senate. As we progress through the campaign season, no doubt the numbers will decrease and clear front-runners

Lamont Delivers Strong Message on the Economy

When I awoke on Tuesday morning and peeked out the window at the grey skies and persistent snow, I thought for sure that Ned Lamont’s campaign folks would have sent a message to all stating that “due to inclement weather”

Lamont and Malloy. The Race Heats Up.

Some of my fellow Democrats are all in a snit over Ned Lamont’s new campaign manager, Joe Abbey, a Virginian (Heavens to Mergatroid!), who pushed back hard on Dan Malloy’s sometimes rather glib campaign rhetoric.  Malloy is a good guy,

Governing Party Blues

It seems to me more clearly than ever that many on our side prefer a religion to a grungy political party. But religions deal in platonic ideals and serve immutable truths.
