Charm School Drop Out

From the reliably left New York Times:
Ms. Bysiewicz, has fallen from the top of Connecticut’s political world to its most uncomfortable depths, becoming fodder for comedians and a favorite chew toy for Republicans. (continued below picture.)

As Suzy B. leaves office, all of Connecticut finally learns what many of us already knew.
She's totally inept, disagreeable to a point of caustic, and intellectually bankrupt.

A loud shrill woman, prone to ranting hysterically; rumor has it that her entire neighborhood `knows' when she's home.

We hope Connecticut remembers in two years when she wheels out the all new version of Suzy B 2012.

The Head of Chris of Healy

The natives have become restless and are calling for the head of
Republican Party Chair Chris Healy.

Angry mob outside Connecticut GOP headquarters in New Britain.

Having won nothing, not a Senate seat nor a single Congressional district or State Constitutional Office, defending Healy has become difficult at least; the work of a masochist at best.
The blame falls at his feet, and rightfully so.

Matt Daly, who briefly ran a quite forgettable campaign for congress in CT's 2nd district himself, called for new leadership in an Op/Ed piece in Sunday's Hartford Courant, and even Healy's former employer, the Torrington based Register-Citizen called for his removal in their November 4th editorial.

However - take a deep breath.
If not Healy - who?
What? You gasp.
You're not going to defend Healy are you?
Well in a fashion, only because I'm probably a masochist and despite himself I like him in the same way I like cigarettes. I know cigarettes are no good for me, but I enjoy them anyway.
While I enjoy Healy's acerbic wit immensely I find myself no happier with this year's end results than even the most rabid  members of the Tea Party.

Reasons to dump Healy.
As a member of the Republican State Central  Committee there's much I could criticize regarding the convention in May and the actions and activities emitting from headquarters since. 
I won't elaborate on any of it here.

Reasons to leave Healy in place.

• Funding - Healy's been better than good at bringing in the cash.
• Stability - Dragging the losing party chair off to a firing squad without a ready, willing and suitable replacement is just plain shortsighted and stupid.
• Pit-bull - Healy can be as vicious as a junk-yard dog. While some believe that contributed to our dismal results, I would disagree. Besides what's the difference at this point? 
• Entertaining - We might as well enjoy his witty remarks for at least a little longer.
  
• How? - The process for forcible removal is difficult. Connecticut Republican Party Rules.

Connecticut Republicans will select new State Central members next May with those members selecting a new chairman the following month.

In the meantime we should calmly review last weeks train wreck. election, as well as critically observe the response from New Britain.

McMahon Campaign Leaves Nothing to Chance

Is this the most tenacious campaign in history?  Look at the address on this absentee voter mailing.

 The above mailer was received by a college student who was in May a delegate for Rob Simmons. It's my understanding that his absentee ballot was mailed back some time ago with a vote for Linda.

Sportsmen endorse Markley

COALITION OF CONNECTICUT SPORTSMEN

P.O. Box 2506 , Hartford , CT 06146

October 13, 2010

The Coalition of CT Sportsmen is pleased to ENDORSE Joe Markley (R) for election to the State Senate and rate him “A, Endorsed”. Joe Markley (R) was previously rated A Endorsed by the NRA and by CCS when he served some years ago in the Connecticut State Senate16th District. The District includes Southington , Wolcott, Cheshire and the East End of Waterbury.


Joe Markley always demonstrated impeccable integrity, is an avid researcher on all issues, responds to his constituents, and most important, exercises common-sense.
During his previous tenure he was always supportive of Sportsmen's positions.

Based upon these standards, the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen considers him an exemplary legislator, clearly worthy of election, and a positive benefit to the State.

We would urge all voters to strongly support Joe Markley’s election to the State Senate.
