----------
Massachusett...Yes Visconti is a spoiler.<br />----------<br />Massachusetts got a second term of Coupe Deval acting as Governor even though he garnered only 48% of the vote. If we get Malloy again, and it turns out that Visconti's candidacy could be understood as the difference in the election, we will have every right to hold Mr. Visconti in low regard, call him vulgar names in the privacy of our own homes, and hope his dog gets fleas. He should have gotten out.<br /><br />But, aside from his campaign in 2010 (or Jodi Rell's or John Rowland's) has there ever been a less inspiring presentation than Foley's 2014 run? Malloy is very unattractive, but beyond the fact that the operator of the State machinery is dishonest and reckless, can't a Republican explain what is fundamentally problematic with Connecticut's activist government?peter brushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-73506543726711530982014-10-26T10:03:15.864-04:002014-10-26T10:03:15.864-04:00Yes Visconti is a spoiler.

If he does steal enough votes from Foley, the re-elected governor will be able to pass more gun-snatching laws. <br /><br />Visconti lost fair and square. He should have supported the winner and ran another day.<br /><br />I swear he must be getting a bribe to stay in the race. He is the David Bingham of 2014.mccommashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527649788851312579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-50156023283435070462014-10-23T09:34:21.696-04:002014-10-23T09:34:21.696-04:00CL That sounds about right.

You also missed the part of the poll that said if Visconti was not in the race, Foley would get twice as many of his votes as Malloy would. <br />While Visconti's number are so low to begin with that only amounts to a 1% shift in Foley's favor, remember last election Malloy only won by 0.5% so even 1% now could mean all the difference in the world.Chris Lemosnoreply@blogger.com
