I hope he doesn't do it. I like Bysiewicz for governor and would rather see Ned run for national office. Bysiewicz can easily overcome the "not enough experience" issue.

1. I like Malloy myself.

I've known him since High School and he has the most experience of the lot as far as I am concerned.

2. I like Bysiewicz too

I can't stand DLC Dan Malloy and neither do most Dems in my town in Northeast CT. Malloy has got that slick politician feel and Dems in my town feel that he will ignore our section of CT in favor of the Gold Coast and Hartford. Bysiewicz has been really good to my DTC and she most likely will win my town's DTC endorsement.

I think this is the wrong race for Lamont, but who knows. If he runs an innovative campaign like he did with his primary challenge to Lieberman, then he could make the race interesting and maybe he will win the governorship or LT governor.

I would rather that he save his political capital to challenge Lieberman again, but maybe he knows something that we don't.

3. Did Bysiewicz come and talk to your DTC? She came to mine

in August and I was very impressed with her.

I don't know enough about Malloy to make a judgment on his candidacy. I would never support Amman and would actively work against him in a primary because he supported LIEberman after the 06 primary

4. Susan attended my DTC's Oct. 29 "Meet the Candidates" Dinner

to support our municipal candidates. She always comes to our dinner. I'm in the process of uploading her speech to YouTube. My DTC was either the first or one of the first DTC's to endorse her for Sec. of State when she first ran and was written off before the election. She won and has been thankful for our DTC's support ever since.

I too would work against Amman, but he's currently polling around 4% so I don't think he's much of a threat.

5. Will you post the youtube link when you're done ?

I think other CT DU'ers will be impressed with her once they see/hear her.

Thanks !

6. I'm not thrilled with Malloy, DiStefano or Bysiewicz

I think with his money & name recognition, Lamont might have a chance to defeat Rell. I don't see the others being able to do that.

I don't think Lamont will run for Senate in 2012.
