Connecticut

He made things worse than even what he inherited from Rell. He deserves to lose his job. It's just too bad the only way that can happen elects Foley.

Malloy is and always has been a fiscal-conservative...the policies he promoted, ran on and implemented are DLC to the core. They exacerbated long-term unemployment. Our economy which was stale when he took office is now flat. Dead. Flatlined. In need of life-support. His policies ran jobs out of the state and made it harder to start small businesses. He "right-sized" spending on social programs. He adopted the standard anti-union positions of the DLC. Then when they failed, he raised taxes across the board. Above all else, he repeatedly lied to our faces about the state of the economy and about imaginary refunds from an imaginary surplus that never existed. He's getting beat in arguably the most liberal state in the US for some very good reasons.

How much clearer do you need that to be? He's done a terrible job and things are going in the wrong direction with him as Governor from where he started. Dan Malloy has the kind of job performance to rival Sam Brownback. There would be a universal party in the streets where crowds break out in a song-and-dance flash-mob version of "Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is Dead!" if Malloy's loss didn't mean Foley won.

It's like an election where you're lying shivved in the guts and the choice is between exsanguination (Malloy) or getting shot in the face. (Foley) Either way, you're dead.
