1. THE COURANT has a long article |
|
http://www.courant.com/news/politics/hc-dems0521.artmay21,0,5287844.storyThere are also 5 or 6 really good CT blogs. LamontBlog (not the campaign site) is one and it contains links to all of the others.

2. Thanks, I have the Courant article. |
|
It's just an odd thing to me, but I understand why things like this happen.
Too bad. I like De Stefano as a candidate for office. He has new ideas and is not afraid of wading in where he can help.

3. DeStefano is the only person who can take down the Rell Era |
|
In my opinion of course. I really like him though and would like to see him living on Prospect Avenue! :)

5. the way it was set up at the convention center, tents for hospitality & |
|
registration were set up outside. For some reason, Malloy was set up in a huge double tent and DeStefano was set up in a small tent half the size nearby, separated by considerable space. On Friday night there was a big party and the big tent had the best food---cheese, crackers,veggies, dessert, fruit and a chocolate fountain for dipping your strawberries or biscotti in, whereas DeStefano's tent had just crackers, pretzels and cookies, most of which ran out.
I asked a Malloy staffer who paid for the food at their tent and he said the Dem Central Committee, so obviously the food was for all the Dems there and not just Malloy's people. However, the setup clearly gave the appearance that Malloy had a well run, well organized, well heeled campaign whereas DeStefano's looked pauperish and disorganized in comparison.
Someone also told me the "big tent" was "Lieberman's" tent. I asked for details and the person said the huge tent was for Lieberman's people and Malloy's backers tend to support Lieberman. I don't know if offically it was "Lieberman's" tent, but Joe's people are Malloy's and vice versa so maybe they maneuvered it to use the big space. The result at any rate was the impression that Malloy had the biggest tent, most supporters, best organization and best food!
Seems to me this imbalance in the setup created a certain wrong impression that carried over into Saturday.
