Surely, Roraback's overwhelming sense of upper class entitlement would have had him claiming "his" US Senate seat long before 20 years had elapsed. Sort of Like Weicker with a slightly worse voting record and a slightly more modest public demeanor.
As to the revenge of the Rorabackers, Comrade Andy Roraback is required to keep his yap cemented shut on all matters political so long as he wears judicial robes. Greenberg looks like a good candidate and he showed the good sense to tell Jailbird John Rowland to shove off when offered a deal of corruption as usual by Jailhouse John.
Pro-gun Democrats are better than anti-gun Democrats and Democrats should be encouraged to be pro-gun and pro-life and pro-sexual normalcy and anti-tax, anti-spend, and anti-regulation. The more progress the better and the sooner the better. Let Democrats compete for OUR votes and be held responsible to OUR agenda as was the case in the time of Ella Grasso and her legislative leaders.
What matters is not the partisan divide but rather the ideological divide. If the purpose of this exercise is not to translate our ideals and ideological preferences into political reality through political activity, what IS the purpose? Jobs? Contracts? Never!
the gun folks are others were convinced Esty is an weak incumbent for a long time .... in a REpublican district. The campaign against her began immediately.
Stopping ROraback was urgent, because there was no path to victory to take him on. We’d hafta wait for him to lose him seat to a LIB in 2032 and then go after the lib in 2034. No good.
If Roraback were in the Hartford CD. let him have it.
Esty acts nuttier than Rosa .. and no way Rosa could hold the 5th. Esty needs Republican votes to keep her seat. She’ll be vulnerable every election.
