Well, Glassman is out of it... she lost to the woman with the horrible voice, Nancy Wyman. We live right next to Simsbury, where Mary Glassman is mayor. She is VERY popular there...

Call me crazy, but as far as lefty leftists go, I don't hate Glassman. I actually agree with a lot of her ideas. From what I gather (I live in a neighboring town as well), she has actually - gasp - SAVED Simsbury a few bucks here and there with some of her incredibly simple ideas like sharing paving contracts with Avon. I LIKE some regionalization ideas (Do we really need 130 911 centers in the state? 150 plowing contracts?) and done right, public transportation that funds itself isn't a bad idea.

But she'll never win a general election, b/c she is truly a leftist. But I'm not afraid to say she seems like a nice woman - and she hitched her wagon to that dumbass Ned Lamont and got crushed y'day.

That said, I HATE Nancy Wyman for a million reasons. She's just been awful up in Mansfield and seems to hate the University for some reason. to me, that's the worst winner y'day.

Thanks for educating me about Mary Glassman. I have to say I've been mystified for years why so many smart people in Simsbury keep electing someone I've considered a far lefty. It's good that she's doing some commonsense things for her town.

I admit I know very little about Nancy Wyman and Dannel Malloy (except Nancy has that truly AWFUL voice). I really hope they've got some skeletons in their closets that will come out just before election day. I won't get my hopes up, though, as the 'RAT voters in CT always seem to look the other way when it comes to their 'RAT candidates.
