Nails On A Blackboard, BOE Politics And Personalities, Plus: Dem Prayer Mass

January 20th, 2010 · 50 Comments · Education, National Politics, State Politics

Yikes, they’ve just been sworn in on the Board of Education and the screeching is louder than a third-grade classroom. BOE members Bobby Simmons, who wanted to be BOE president, and Sauda Baraka and Maria Pereira who also wanted him to be BOE leader, have jointly fired off letters to Board President Barbara Bellinger expressing [...]

January 19th, 2010 · 30 Comments · Analysis and Comment, City Politics, State Politics

Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Billboard … Jumpers Beware: let’s give this billboard thing some thought because with potential Democratic Town Committee primaries on the horizon and election for party chair in March who’s going to get thrown under the bus, or should I say off the top of the billboard?

Dodd’s Dough, Kohut’s Calling, Linda’s Lion, Musto’s Magic, Meet Malloy

January 18th, 2010 · 25 Comments · Development and Zoning, News and Events, State Politics

Chris Dodd has at least two million clams left in the campaign account of his U.S. Senate seat for which he’ll not seek reelection. What to do with it? Give it back to those jolly corporations that plied him with dough through the decades? Nah. Give it to candidates? Possibly. Give it to charity? Could be. Hey, [...]

Bill Clinton, Bill Curry, And My Presidential Nightmare, Plus: Regional Opportunities

January 15th, 2010 · 53 Comments · Analysis and Comment, News and Events, State Politics

Our discussion in the prior post about the impact of presidential visits had me thinking (always a confusing thing) back to 1994, a nutty year for me. I managed Joe Ganim’s gubernatorial bid that year. We were cash rich but delegate poor. Those days you couldn’t wage a primary for governor without the support of 20 percent [...]

Polls, The Barack Factor For Himes, Plus: Jepsen Challenges SuBy

January 14th, 2010 · 22 Comments · Analysis and Comment, Education, National Politics, State Politics

Update, new Q polls Ronald Reagan’s polling numbers after two years as president showed he was toast. Then the economy rebounded and he croaked his Democratic opponent Walter Mondale in 1984. Bill Clinton’s polling numbers after two years were dicey as well. Then the economy soared. And he dispatched his Republican opponent Bob Dole in 1996. But [...]

Does That Mummy Play Footsies? And What SuBy Really Wants … AG, Then Joe

January 13th, 2010 · 25 Comments · Analysis and Comment, News and Events, State Politics

Update, SuBy announces AG run: I’m starting to wonder if the Egyptian mummy from the Barnum Museum that director Kathy Maher is shipping to Quinnipiac for age testing is actually Democratic Town Chair Mario Testa eavesdropping on Q Poll callers. Mario, that you? What a kooky week. Buried some pols, resurrected others. Does that mummy know poll [...]
