Ned Lamont explores potential candidacy for Governor of Connecticut
I received this email from Lamont:

... I will be filing papers to establish a committee to explore a potential candidacy for Governor of Connecticut.

Since our 2006 campaign for Senate, I have continued to meet with citizens across our state -- as co-chairman of the Obama campaign in Connecticut, founder of a state policy institute at Central Connecticut State University, and as an outspoken advocate for health care reform. I have been constantly reminded during these conversations that Connecticut is not living up to its potential and that too many of our families are still being left behind.

Whether it has been health care and the economy, losing jobs, young people leaving the state, or the never-ending budget crisis, we have all seen our state head in the wrong direction.

Simply put, Connecticut's current Chief Executive is not getting the job done.

Over the next few weeks, I look forward to continuing these conversations with voters across the state. And I also look forward to hearing from all of you.

He's an Obama supporter. That equals CORPORATE SHILL. How dare he even send this e-mail?

According to Wiki, Connecticut governors aren't term limited. So the current Republican governor can run again. Maybe the voters will remember what the hell they did when they elected Joe and will go for Ned as gov.
