Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy to Democrats: Grow a Pair

[Cha]

15. I'm so glad Gov Dan Malloy is speaking out about this, DV.. Thank you! From your link..

“The other people are the people who want to make the rich richer and, quite frankly, if that makes the poor poorer, that is OK with them. And if you don’t point that out, don’t be shocked that people get confused.”

A couple a snips//

"I always felt that when we got to a serious contest in October, we would be OK as long as we stayed true to our principles and talked about what we accomplished,” he said. “Tom Foley wanted it put out that there we raised taxes. And he talked about it month after month after month after month. But once people started to pay attention, I pointed out what we did with the money, which was lower the crime rate, increase graduation rates, invest in infrastructure, create a Housing Department, create an Energy Department, create a Department of Aging. We did all of these things. It was the right policy, and ultimately people came around.”

"During the campaign, Malloy didn’t just embrace his record and his party. He did what only a few Democrats were willing to do: Embrace Barack Obama. The president headlined a rally in Bridgeport in the days before the election, at a time when other candidates, like Alison Lundergan Grimes of Kentucky, wouldn’t even cop to voting for Obama in his reelection bid."

It was so bizarre to me when this was going down in real time and now we Dan Malloy in the aftermath of his victory explaining why running as repub lites and letting the gop set the narrative was not a good idea if you really wanted to win.

It's like the Keystone thing.. the Dems who are buying into the lies propagated by the gop.. not bothering to explain what's really going on.
