It’s A Unanimous Decision

Last night in Bridgeport, Democratic delegations from every one of the 17 towns in the 4th CD gathered to unanimously, enthusiastically, and officially nominate Jim Himes as their candidate for Congress this November. Speakers included Bill Finch, Diane Farrell, Ned Lamont, and more... and, of course, Jim. As the CT Post reports, delegates at the convention were to a person voicing their feeling that this is - finally - the year:
"The country's in a different climate than even two years ago," said John Mitola, of Fairfield, referring to one of two races in which Shays narrowly withstood challenges by Diane G. Farrell, the former Westport first selectman.
"There's a lot of people who want us out of the war, and Shays is not going to give us that," said Norwalk Common Council President Fred Bondi.
"Jim's a solid guy," said Bridgeport district leader Daniel Roach, who also pointed to public distaste for the war.
"This year is our time," declared Linda Arden, of Stamford, who added she saw calls for change at every elective level.

It was a great idea to have the convention in Bridgeport! Saw it on CT-N this weekend and what a turnout there was.
