Something to mull over on this holiday weekend.
Lisa Wilson-Foley is hoping to defeat Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, the man Republican Party delegates nominated for lieutenant governor, in August’s primary.
The Republican gubernatorial nominee is Tom Foley of Greenwich.
I’m well aware that the following observations will cause a bit of eye-rolling, but indulge me…
Just imagine the questions that will arise if Foley/Wilson-Foley are elected. You know there are residents and out-of-staters who will be wondering if the two are married/related.
“I’ve already been asked that. Just this morning my wife asked me that because Lisa had an ad on TV and she said ‘that’s not Foley’s wife, is it?’ So people are asking,” said Gary Rose, politics professor at Sacred Heart University.
Does Connecticut really want to be the state that constantly has to clarify the relationship status of its governor and lieutenant governor?
Also Wilson-Foley has the same first name as Foley’s ex-wife, which is kind of awkward because Tom and Lisa Foley’s tumultuous divorce has been generating some unwanted headlines for the gubernatorial candidate.
I now await the e-mails/phone calls from Foley and Wilson-Foley supporters urging me to look beyond the superficial and consider their credentials…
So glad you are having fun with this. It’s TGIF anyway…
And there is plenty of time before the Primary for actualy political comment.

I worked out the diddy for their campaign commercials.
“Foley Foley bo boley banana fana fo foley, mi my mo moley. Foley!”
Maybe they could have the creepy Mr. Magoo from the Six Flags commercials jump about as this plays.

What I find even more ironic is that Lisa Wilson-Foley could be a better governor than Tom Foley. It should be swapped. Wilson-Foley on the top of the ticket.
