ALL THINGS CONSIDERED...
THE NEWS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE
Okay so the Gov's numbers are still in the toilet
(35 percent approval), but most CT voters (69 percent) say they wouldn't recall
Rowland if they had the opportunity to do so.
In more good news bad news for Rowland voters say
Rowland has strong leadership qualities, 54 -- 41 percent. But he gets negative scores on other character traits:
36 -- 55 percent that he is honest and trustworthy;
36 -- 58 percent that he cares about voters' needs and problems;
35 -- 54 percent that he has high ethical standards.

I LOVE CAMPAIGNS!
It didn't come as a HUGE surprise that New Haven Mayor John Destafano http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/mayor/index.html On Thursday I interviewed Destafano at a Connecticut Conference of Municipalities Convention http://www.ccmlac.org/ It was a crowd that very well could help catapult him to the Governor's mansion. Let me tell you folks......city and town leaders are plenty angry at the governor AND the state legislature. The muni leaders believe that the state left them unfairly holding the bag with all of the deep state spending cuts. I spent close to an hour in a room filled with angry, select(people), town managers and other front-line political folks. There was a lot of talk o organizing huge grass roots outreach efforts to "throw the bums out" in the legislature next year...and be a big voice in the next gubernatorial race three years down the road.
