An interesting, perhaps novel strategy: losing in 2006 in a bid to become Lt Governor, but outshining her lackluster running-mate John DeStefano, and then coming back four years later to try for the the top job. Perhaps someone more familiar with the intricacies of the Democrats’ “strategizing” can help those of us who are puzzled by this one.

(And yes I read AndersonScooper’s breathless post above.)

I hear a collective yawn coming over CT and settling on the swing voters.

Donkeydonk got his wish–a 3rd stringer to call his own.

In the long term no one should make the mistake of underestimating Mary Glassman. She’s a pro’s pro.

In the short term, advantage Ned Lamont. We’ll need to see the polls a month from now, but my guess is this will put him in the lead over Bysie.

Luckily the thresholds are high, or Dems would be looking at a true 7-way primary. But what a convention this could be. Will Susie lend support to Malloy to get him his 15%, just so he can keep cutting into Ned’s Fairfield County base? Will the deal be a spot on the ticket as Lt. Governor, in exchange for Dan playing attack dog? (That’s just a for instance. Who knows how the allegiances will break…)

Fun, fun, fun. And Glassman would make an awesome governor.
