Obama travelled to CT several times during the election, and during one of the recent natural disasters. I believe that during one of these trips Malloy and Obama met and discussed Malloy getting some nice Fed job with Obama. That hasn’t happened yet and I beleive Malloy is trying to show Obama he is worthy.
He knows he only won by 6k votes, after a judge ordered the Dem stronghold of Bridgeport to extend voting two hours due to Ballot shortages. He has made no mention of running again in 2014. I suspect he is tying to do what ever it takes to move up higher in the Dem party and use CT to do it.
Sort of like Chickenlooper here.
The sooner Malloy is out of CT the better.
