What has Rell done to make herself so popular? The only thing I now about the lady is she signed civil unions into law.
She sided with Democrats on our first responder funding.
She sided against Bushco about moving our national guard air wing out of state.
She is a strong advocate of campaign finance reform and is probably the only reason why we are going to get it.
Her Budget sucked but you cant expect her to be a progressive democrat...
I also think she gets a lot of support because without a GOP gov we are essentially a one party state. Super majority in one chamber and close in the other... And I don't want a one party state even if it is my party...
Plus she had breast cancer which drove up her poll numbers too.
First time in my life that a debate might make me decide who to vote for. =) I'm not real high on either DeStephano or Malloy.
