Dan Malloy’s penchant for wearing green ties has failed to pay off. The New York-based Irish Voice today endorsed Republican Tom Foley for governor. What do you expect? Foley was the ambassador to ireland under the last Bush administration. And The Edge, U2’s crafty guitarist, attended Foley’s wedding. Still, the Blogster likes the potentially equivocal nature of the second sentence:
“Foley is a former U.S. ambassador to Ireland under President George W. Bush who performed great service there and is fondly remembered. Foley brings his unique combination of diplomatic and business skills to running the statehouse in the Nutmeg State. A combination of both may well be what Connecticut needs.”
TOM FOLEY ON IRISH VOICE ENDORSEMENT
“I’m honored to have this endorsement. My family came to this country from Ireland in search of opportunity and found it. As governor, I plan to make Connecticut a place where employers want to create jobs, families can enjoy a great quality of life and young people want to stay to pursue a career. It all starts by balancing our state budget without raising taxes, changing attitudes in our state government and making Connecticut more employer friendly.”
