Greenwich businessman Tom Foley’s gubernatorial campaign may have come to an end after losing by a narrow 5,000 votes in November, but that’s not stopping him from continuing to campaign for his Republican brethren. He sent this email out Tuesday afternoon urging supporters to get out and vote in districts where there are special elections:
Dear Friend,
As you may know, today there are special elections for six seats in the general assembly and three in the state senate. If you live in one of the districts listed below it is imperative that you get out and vote. This election marks an important cross road in our state. Do we continue the policies of tax, borrow and spend or do we make our state more economically competitive by reducing the cost and size of state government. This election will also send a message to our leadership that the recent $1.5 billion tax increase is bad policy for the State of Connecticut. Please take a moment and vote for one of the candidates listed below. The polls are open until 8 p.m.
Best Regards,
Tom Foley

Mumford is simply a partisan Democrat hack who hopes Foley will go away. To the contrary, his think tank and proposed education reforms are far more intelligent than anything the Governor or, particularly, the teachers unions have to offer. Foley will be governor in 2014.
CT made a big mistake in electing the organized labor toady Malloy.
Tom Foley is trying to keep himself in the political spotlight. He wasted $11 Million in his failed bid for the Governor’s spot, can’t really blame him for trying to recoup his investment. But he failed to tell us about the arrests before he ran for office, and an investigative reporter found him out. His Bibb Corp layoffs and the big bankruptcy in his past cannot be ignored. His opponents in the future will tear him up. He is grasping for relevance, but Tom Foley’s naive think tank opinions and endorsements have no credibility with the average voter in CT. He is finished.
Wow, so private citizen Foley taking 5 minutes to send out an email from home supporting Republican candidates is “endless campaigning”. Then I wonder what you call it when Senator Blumenthal flies back to CT from Washington to hang out at the Democratic headquarters personally making phone calls on behalf of Democrat candidates?
