What a crazy week. I thought the momentum was with Dan Malloy heading into Tuesday and victory at hand with a low turnout, but never thought it would be a double-digit win. So much for Ned Lamont’s 10 million clams. No pearls in those shells.
The loss was a bitter pill to swallow for Mayor Bill [...]

It’s getting a little testy out there in primary land. Guber candidate Ned Lamont pokes endorsed Democrat Dan Malloy after a Courant piece questions the actual amount of jobs Malloy created as Stamford mayor. Malloy fires [...]
