Sounds like Mayor Bill Finch and Democratic Town Chair Mario Testa are doing and saying all the right things reaching out to guber primary winner Dan Malloy.
The mayor and Mario aren’t in any position to cut a specific deal with Malloy. They made their deal with Ned Lamont. But the more they’re on board with Malloy the [...]

Examining The Mayoral Pool, Plus: Himes V. Debicella Heats Up
August 13th, 2010 · 41 Comments · City Politics, Political Analysis, State Politics
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 [...]

Afternoon update: The primary vote hit the halfway point at 1 p.m. and the turnout is death valley in the city and around the state.

Rock and roll hoochie koo. Here we go, one day before Tsunami Tuesday and the races for governor are tight.
Well, never let it be said Ned Lamont isn’t banking on a big Bridgeport win. So confident (or hopeful) of a Park City plurality he’s decided to park himself in the state’s largest city at Testo’s [...]
