progressive leaning... but the "so-called Democrats" in CT..... are
abunch of self-serving, corrupt crooks.... Remember Lyin' Joe
Lieberman and his "Independent" run...or just keep in mind Kelo v.
New London.... these "bums" just want to feather their own nests,
through patronage from Insurance or Medical or Pharma or other such
"preferred" monied interests... the "progressive or populist" tag....
it's a Lie...

Malloy v. Foley: Election Off The Rails, CT A Laughingstock

In just the last few hours we've had stories about what may be an
uncounted bag of ballots discovered in Bridgeport and news that
there could be further problems in Torrington (how many other towns
will show this?) plus the continuing duel of differing vote counts.
Meanwhile, our Secretary of State, whose job it is to make sure our
elections
run smoothly, keeps postponing her final "official" tally -- even
though she has said that Dan Malloy is the unofficial winner.
It's no longer Ground Hog Day. Weve woken up to Florida in 2000. This
election won't be settled for a long time.
