The Blogster doesn’t know about you, but he thinks that Connecticut needs more nameless Democrats to announce for “higher office.” Newsrooms throughout the state this morning were inundated with mystery releases about an unnamed Democrat who will announce intentions to file an exploratory committee for something high-profile, presumably the governorship that has eluded Ds since Billy O’Neill left in 1991.
Since the Blogster’s interest in announced candidates for governor is entirely preliminary as we approach the fourth anniversary October 14 of Gov. Jodi Rell’s proclaimed candidacy for governor in her own right, the Blogster’s pretty much not paying attention to the 2010 gubernatorial campaign until mid-October at the earliest.
Still, here’s the substance of the mystery release and the planned tour of second-tier cities and suburbs:
“An experienced Connecticut political figure will announce the formation of an exploratory committee for high-level state office on Monday, October 5. A series of four press conferences will take place in locations around the state. Further details with specific times and locations will follow on Friday, October 2.
WHERE AND WHEN
Ridgefield, approx. 10 am
Naugatuck, approx 12:30 pm
New London, approx. 3:30 pm
Mansfield, approx. 6 pm”
