If Rell isn’t going to seek re-election, why would Lt. Gov. Fedele’s kids donate to her exploratory committee?

I was reviewing the most recent campaign finance filings for Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s re-election exploratory committee, when something caught my eye.

Stamford resident Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele’s three children – two of them students and one an employee at Stamford Hospital – all donated $100 to Rell between late August and early September.

Now I may be making a leap here, but it seems if anyone should have insight into Rell’s plans, it’s Fedele, who has said he would run for Governor in 2010 should his boss choose to retire.

I can’t imagine at some point before cutting those $100 checks at least one if not all three of those kids called dad Fedele and asked: “Is she in?”

Rell has said she will announce her intentions by the end of the month.
