And they're EXCITED about it. I've never seen these campaigns so excited, getting their people mobilized to garner John Hancocks with every bit of care. How come they're not so excited about handing out flyers, knocking on doors, and other normal vote Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631224513505926756.post-9035160197688372562012-07-24T12:38:48.414-04:002012-07-24T12:38:48.414-04:00The Independent Party run in the first district co...The Independent Party run in the first district confirms Mark Boughton, Linda McMahon, and Lisa Wilson-Foley's short-sighted stratagy.

Like Janelli I have thought that we need to compete is by playing the game in order to win. However, my main concern now is that the GOP , assisted by Mark Boughton will assist the Independent Party in gaining automatic ballot access going forward through this scheme.

So let me ask you - at what point would we lose majority Party status - isn't there a threshold of 20% during a Gubernatorial election year? My understanding is that if we lost MPS we would no longer have automatic placement on The Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424320367220769137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631224513505926756.post-24902982920777750872012-07-19T16:25:52.361-04:002012-07-19T16:25:52.361-04:00I am one of those who definitely support Republica...I am one of those who definitely support Republicans getting on the Independent Party line (Row 5B). My reasoning, though you and others may consider it flawed, is as follows.<br /><br />First, today Republican voters represent only about 22% of all voters in CT. Where are so many of those swing Republicans hiding? Amongst the unaffiliated voters. Thus a Republican candidate to win must attract Chris Janellihttp://www.salisburyrtc.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631224513505926756.post-33454051347035876522012-07-19T05:02:31.683-04:002012-07-19T05:02:31.683-04:00Another blunder by Healys helpers.Another blunder by Healys helpers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631224513505926756.post-31485834557410092752012-07-18T22:29:04.596-04:002012-07-18T22:29:04.596-04:00Unbelievable that Linda has Boughton doing this to...Unbelievable that Linda has Boughton doing this to cover her. The fact is Linda is taking heat for getting signatures to be on the ticket as an Independent so she's got stooge Boughton to make it look like a Republican movement for all candidates to get signatures. I will be calling Chairman Labriola tomorrow to ask him to addres this move by Boughton and denounce it publicly or shit will beJoe Viscontinoreply@blogger.com
