we've have a governor who imposed the largest tax increases in state history, after promising he wouldn't raise taxes, which made us the state with the worst economy in the nation for the first three years of his term (the exact opposite result of what Republican governors did in their states)

this year, we improved to being the 2nd worst state in economic growth. And this result occurred in a time frame in which the nation's economy is the worst it's been for an extended period of time since the fucking great depression. I mean that's piling loser on top of loser on top of loser.

yet another loser in life who's been wrong about everything may very well get reelected. All they needs to do is get the vote out in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford, and the people who give the least to society will have achieved yet another victory

it's tradition, it's the libtard way

Can't be any worse than O'Malley down here. The "haves" are fleeing MD like it is going out of style.

IDK, the worst economy for 3 years and the 2nd worst economy for one year, how can anyone top being that bad?

Always wondered when the other libs (non food stamp ones) will see the light. Social issues, sure, but it baffles me when it starts getting in your pockets why some continue down that road. Makes no sense.

The NYT finds a lot of disenchantment with the current Gov:

Mr. Lester’s quiet shop, struggling under the weight of rising taxes and a burdensome accreditation process for his barber-training academy, attests to the fact that not much has changed.
“The governor is doing what he can,” said Mr. Lester, a Democrat like Mr. Malloy. “But as a businessman I’m thinking about myself first, and taxes are something that I hate. I built this place from a clipper and an outliner. I don’t want to give anything to the government.”


Days before the polls open in an election that Thomas C. Foley, Mr. Malloy’s Republican challenger, has cast as a referendum on the incumbent, voters across the state are struggling to reconcile themselves to their downsized prospects. For public employees who once sought a raise, or storekeepers hoping for a bump in demand, merely getting by in a stalled economy evokes a mixture of gratitude and resentment.
In dozens of interviews outside bodegas and golf courses alike last week, many residents still bristled over Mr. Malloy’s decisions early in his term to raise taxes and to coax concessions from unions.

Some hope:

A Quinnipiac University Poll released Monday showed 47 percent of likely voters supporting Malloy and 44 percent backing Foley. One day before Election Day, it's still within the margin of error.

Seven percent remain undecided.
