So Democrats - the choice for Lieutenant governor is Kevin Lembo (Connecticut's Health Care Advocate) Vs. Mike Jarjura (Mayor of Waterbury).

Kevin is probably the smartest person to run for statewide office in Connecticut history and an incredible progressive.

Jarjura, a nice guy to be sure, is viciously anti-choice and a board member of the ultra-right wing Family Institute. Their anti-choice, anti-gay rights legislative agenda is headed by the following statement. "There are two ways to protect marriage from liberal interest groups, detached politicians, and activist judges: An amendment to the U.S. Constitution; or an amendment to the Connecticut State Constitution."  Pretty much says it all - Click Here

You can find the Jarjura story here - Jarjura to Make a Move for LG, by Kevin Rennie

"The Waterbury veteran should expect questions from active Democrats on his close relationship with disgraced former Governor John G. Rowland, who enjoys a city economic development job created by Jarjura."

Back to Pelto:

This is probably the single most significant and serious developments in the 2010 election cycle.

The Democrats make their choice in three weeks...So delegates what will it be?
