Political Endorsements, Ambition And Portraits

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Commodore%20Skahill/Colin%20McEnroe%20Show%2012-22-2011.mp3

Today's show was sort of a political grab bag. We drilled down -- that might be the first time I've ever used that expression -- on the subject of political endorsements, which are flying around fast and furious right now.  We'll also alighted briefly on the issue of reapportionment, which is winging its way to the State Supreme Court.

Later, we chatted with Norm Pattis, one of several commentators who believe Dan Malloy is already burnishing his resume -- just in case he wants to run for president in 2012.  What would a Malloy vs. Cuomo primary season look like? Don't they already hate each other enough?

Lastly, we looked at the issue of fripperies -- that might be the first time I've said fripperies -- in times of need. Where are we going to get money for a portrait of former Gov. Jodi Rell? From the same fund that paid for the cash-strapped Hartford city government to go on a retreat?
