Here is my pick of the day: how many Russo mailings in his Senate races featured Shays vs. how many featured Jodi Rell? Just saying.

Shays weighing in, in an active way, would definitely make this a different race. Period.

*** Thanks for the political reminder, it’s a bit confusing as well as easy to forget with some of the on-going changes of candidates either throwing in their hats, switching, or dropping out completely! *** Voting numbers & campaign “$” will dictate some of these close races in the primaries. So the good candidates who are limited in “$” need to push for & fight the battle in home-town political debates across the state or districts they would represent to hopefully even some of the poll rates. *** The luck of the celtic stars made it a nice day & great St. Pats parade for everyone! Thanks to all those that helped make the “Wear Green day” celebration a success this year after a long winter, a round & toast of Irish whiskey to you all! “Salute!” ***

Nose, where ya been?

Where’s the loyalty in politics? Let’s assume Russo’s run a crappy race. Okay, did Russo throw Shays under the bus when he was in trouble? Did he stop supporting Shays when he proclaimed incredulously that ‘the fundamentals of the economy are strong … no one can argue with that.’

When Shays was looking for guidance on returning to public service it was Russo he leaned on for help.

Yes Mojo is correct Himes is doing a decent Job for a freshman congressman and I will cast my ballot for him. As for Malloy he looks great on paper but as of now I am supporting Lamont but that could easily change because Malloy is an appealing candidate but I need to know more about him. This race should be a interesting one for many reasons. Let’s see how Malloy and Lamont perform in heavily Democratic turnout areas in August such as Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Stamford, Norwalk, New Britain. These 6 cities out of more than 150 towns in CT will tell us how this race is going to end up because these 6 cities have huge Democratic turnouts during primaries. Remember in 2006 both Lamont and Malloy lost Bridgeport but by a small margin. I think Lamont needs to work the city of Bridgeport very hard and see if he could possibly get 2000 more votes than Malloy because when you pull off numbers like that when only 300,000 votes will be cast that is a good margin because I have a feeling margins for both candidates will be just a few hundred votes in 150 towns but you can run up the numbers in the urban areas. This race will be interesting and I can’t wait to cast my vote at Black Rock school.

Mojo–The Ring Queen is running in the GOP Primary for U.S. Senate! I know with all these candidates you need a scorecard.

An endangered species in Bridgeport, a Republican, was seen marching in the Bridgeport St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Consumer Protection guru Jerry Farrell, and a Republican running for Secretary of State walked the fine green line.

SHAYONORA!
