(64,933 posts)moving west to Fairfield County where I spent the next 15 years. I remember running into Toby Moffett (D-Douchebag) in Waterbury when he was trying to upset O'Neill in the mid 80's. Weird time in Connecticut. Ella Grasso had just died when I came to CT.

(64,933 posts)I didn't realize that she was only in her early 60's when she died (cancer?) O'Neill, who succeeded her was part of the old boys network, and really led to a leadership vacuum in the dem party for 20 years. Ironic, when the state has been blue for many years.

(64,933 posts)basically made sure their was no primary, and O'Neill was able to win in 1986. I never though much of O'Neill other than he was part of the "old boys club".
I always found CT to be an odd state. They claimed to be very progressive, but that had one of the most racially divided population that I have seen. You had the very poor cities with 90% minorities and then all of the surrounding suburbs were uber wealthy and those residents commuted into those cities, yet did not pay taxes to support those cities. It was really fucked up and the one thing that pissed me off about CT. I think I lived in 8 different cities/towns in CT over twenty years and saw the gap.
