“Winning takes repeated attempts and we will get there.” That was the message Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Christopher Healy had for an enthusiastic crowd of party supporters and officials including yours truly at an event hosted by Our Connecticut Grand Young Party in Fairfield Thursday night. Healy said the party wants to continue the communication process not only with current supporters but to branch out and bring new people in as well saying, “We are the party of Main Street.” Healy expressed confidence in the slate of Republican candidates competing for election on Feb. 22nd as well the outlook for 2012.
The party chairman was somewhat less charitable when it came to commenting on the new Governor. “I think Dannel Malloy on February 16th is going to lay a stink-bomb on this state that is going to curl your hair.” Healy said referring to the date Governor Malloy is scheduled to unveil his first budget.
The ever poised, Linda McMahon also spoke at the event and while she didn’t make any big announcements concerning another Senate run, she graciously thanked her supporters and said that she will continue to be very active in the coming months, seeking the best ways to serve the people of state, saying, “I am not deterred at all, from continuing to work the people of Connecticut.” In addition to making Connecticut “Open for business” Education is another area where McMahon says she will be very active.
The best way for Linda McMahon to serve the people of Connecticut is to move to Boca full time and never try to run here again. If she REALLY wants to help out CT Republicans, she can take Healy with her.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Peter Schiff? He would CREAM Murphy or anyone else, once the public knows how well Schiff knows CT, its problems, and his answers. I was told back in October that Schiff had a "personality conflict" with "someone at State GOP." What on earth does that have to do with his effectiveness as a senator?
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised McMahon spoke at this event?
When it comes to economic expertise, Peter Schiff has few peers. However, in the political arena Schiff is way in over his head. Those who watched his mediocre campaign spin its wheels from the start, were struck with utter disbelief that such an intelligent man could fumble so miserably and not learn from his continued mistakes. If not for the ranks of Tea Party true believers, Schiff would have withdrawn long before the August 10, 2010 Primary. We hope Peter well in trying to pay off his campaign debt.
