Mike Fedele’s Tenure As Lone Republican in Governor’s Race Lasted Exactly One Day

It sure looks like Tom Foley, the Greenwich millionaire, is abandoning his U.S. Senate bid for a run at the governor’s office. The Republican has scheduled a 12:30 news conference in a downtown Hartford hotel to make a major announcement. His Web site leaves little to the imagination:“Last spring I entered the race for the United States Senate because I wanted to serve the people of Connecticut. Recently, the political landscape in Connecticut has changed. We no longer have an incumbent Governor seeking re-election. I have had a number of conversations with people who are encouraging me to consider running for Governor because they believe I could better serve Connecticut today as Governor than as a Senator.”
