08/02/10 BREAKING NEWS: Hearst Newspapers Chooses Michael Fedele Over Greenwich Resident Tom Foley In The Republican Primary For Governor

Photo: Republican gubernatorial candidate and Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele

Connecticut Post Says Fedele The Choice Among Republicans

Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele has the combination of government and business experience that, given the chance to serve in the No. 1 seat, would be good for the state of Connecticut.

The Connecticut Post endorses his candidacy in the Aug. 10 Republican three-way primary.

The 55-yearold Fedele brings 10 years of legislative experience, serving in the state House of Representatives from 1992 to 2002, and three years in his current position.

But Fedele is also a self-made businessman and understands that job creation is the top challenge to the state.

Fedele understands in no uncertain terms that improving the atmosphere in Connecticut for small business is essential to turning around the state's economy.

His stand against any new taxes speaks to his understanding of the situation.

We compliment him for his position.

Given his experience, Fedele is confident solutions to the state's problems of spending and borrowing can be resolved through good management, and not through new taxes.Though Fedele has been part of the Rell administration ... well, that in some respects sums it up.

It was indeed the Rell administration, and if anyone can name a Connecticut lieutenant governor who shaped policy from that office, we'd be curious to know who it was.

Fedele rightly says he can be held accountable only for those areas in which he had authority.

He's been an effective ambassador for the state, recruiting business and reaching out to the Henkel Corporation, manufacturer of Loctite adhesive products and successfully encouraging them to consolidate operations in Rocky Hill.

Fedele also figured in the move of Columbia Elevators from New York to Bridgeport.

We also applaud Oz Griebel, another candidate in the GOP primary, for his passion and clear commitment to improving the business climate in the state.

And Tom Foley brings a business background as well. But he also brings some unpleasant baggage to the race.

But Fedele earns our endorsement. We believe he's the best of the three choices to lead the state.

08/02/10 Peter Schiff Says Greenwich Resident Linda McMahon Dodges The Issues, Attempts To Distort Opponent's Record

Schiff for Senate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, August 2, 2010

Schiff to McMahon: People Who Live in Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones

Self-funder Attempts to Distort Record, Continues Rejecting Idea of Debating Real Issues


Milford, CT - The Schiff Campaign today released the following statement from Communications Director Jen Millikin in response to McMahon campaign comment in today's CQ Politics post.

"Linda's camp had no answers as to her whereabouts for reporters covering last week's debates. Whether washing her hair or organizing her sock drawer, the tweet's were simply calling attention to the fact that Linda was a no show. In 2010, both women and men shower and do laundry, right? As for sexist, she would know that term well - she and her husband profited off of tawdry story telling for years.

Given her wrestling background, Linda McMahon knows all about kicks to the groin and cheap shots. Linda and her hired guns from Washington continue to attempt to distort Peter's record in her quest to buy this election. Linda has refused to debate or engage on the issues in this race. Why? Because without a script, she can't hold her own.

"She has come to rely on her high priced Washington consultants to design her pretty mail, write her issue positions and jobs plan and undermine the others in this race. Linda's more like a marionette than a true candidate with ideas. Voters should be asking who's really pulling the strings."


###

In 2006, businessman Peter Schiff warned of a coming financial crisis. Now, Peter sees the same problems repeating themselves in Washington. As Connecticut's Senator, he will stop Washington's spending binges that destroy jobs and lead to higher taxes. Born in New Haven, Peter lives in Fairfield County, where he raises his seven-year-old son.

08/02/10 Dan Malloy's Campaign Manager, Dan Kelly Has A Message For Greenwich Resident Ned Lamont: "It's Working""


DAN MALLOY FOR GOVERNOR
Greenwich Roundup,

Like this campaign on Facebook


It’s been a busy week on the campaign trail, and these last days have made one thing abundantly clear.
What we’re doing is working.
In the past week, Dan earned the endorsement of the Hartford Courant, New London Day, Connecticut Post, and Norwich Bulletin. Leaders like Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney and Representative Chris Caruso have endorsed Dan. Our canvasses and phonebanks are larger than ever, and we’re thrilled to see Ned Lamont caving to the political pressure and joining Dan in a debate!
Your phone calls, your canvassing, and your efforts will make the difference and will put us over the top on election day. Can we count on you to volunteer on Election Day and one day before?
This race is competitive and will likely be decided on by only a handful of votes. With only a couple hours on the phone or knocking on doors, you can make all the difference and help put us over the top on August 10th. Volunteering on election day and one day before can make the difference.
There is a clear difference in the race; we are fighting
