Dan Malloy will make a great Governor. I got to know him a bit while he was mayor of Stamford. He taught a class at the UConn Stamford campus; I was in upper management so we would always chat when he was in the building. He was a terrific Mayor and he really cared about the citizens of the city. Good luck Dan! You have my vote and the votes of many in my family.

A Linda McMahon victory is a Democratic victory in November.

Who would you have voted for ...Blumenthal? Why does everyone think they can go to DC and change things? A lot of people spend a lot of money to make things stay exactly the way things are. We the American people sit idle by and watch the sun rise and set..and the Kardashians..and the real housewives and American Idol....and things continue to get worse. The left and right bicker and each side claims they are the answer.....but nothing changes.....even when your side wins, nothing changes. We get distracted by quick scandals and ethics commitees...and gay marriage decisions...nothing changes. Pundits tell us how to think and if you don't think like them, you're unAmerican. We are told we are going to war....we go on lies in the name of "democracy". Nothing changes and the house is burning. When will everyone wakeup?

Teabaggers are the Democrats best friend. Once you shed light on these par@sites, voters quickly realize how radical and extreme the teabaggers really are. Amen. I love teabaggers. They are going to help keep the Dems in power.
