I have finally come to a conclusion in the last couple months regarding his tenure as governor.






Bring on McKinney...........

I wouldn't either, but i don't think he would have the name recognition of McKinney.

Hopefully people still do remember his dad, Stew. I don't want Foley.
Or McMahon. LOL.

Since I have sold my home I will not have the opportunity to not vote for Malloy. We are heading somewhere south of NJ. He really hasn't done too much to improve the fiscal situation of the state..but some people think he's the greatest.

Most of his other plans to keep businesses here involve bribing companies with huge playoffs that only keep high profile companies from fleeing. If you are a democrat you essentially agree with a large government role in the economy so why are you upset if you voted for him?

Do you even understand the reprecusions of Your vote? All the comments say he'll no or no I'd rather smoke meth but don't explain what you are upset about.

All the comments demonstrate your all clueless or simply don't care about the direction this state is heading

I'm not blaming Malloy I'm blaming stupid democratic voters like you for the states problems
For the record, I didn't vote for him. He barely won and I knew he would raise our taxes.

I think they both suck and we should gut the fed down to emergency management,
military, and border security with a flat tax for everyone.
I totally agree and also only voted once for Lieberman for the same reason. I knew there was a reason I befriended you FILF

Why are you for or against a particular candidate?

What policy exacly are you for or against?

Not really much substance in these posts

I think taxes are destroying the state economy

not sure what policy you support probably a democrat most of the voters with no issues tend to vote for them

Why the need to be so inquisitive? Just because he's not writing a dissertation on his voting preferences doesn't mean he doesn't have good reason for his voting decisions.

I'd pick McKinney or Boughton.

I don't know why people keep bringing up Shays. He's been out of office 5 years and is nearly 70 years old. Might as well suggest Jodi Rell.

You just picked the Republican off the list I would most likely vote for.

Neil Abercrombie, the governor of Hawaii is 75. If you can do the job, you can do the job.

The CT Department of Aging Commissioner is 87....
