Coastal Gubernatorial Races: Jerry Brown is the Phoenix and Molloy versus Foley is Up in the Air

When I awoke at 4AM, I watched a You Tube of Gov. Jerry Brown's 'victory speech'?? from Sacramento, Ca. (eclipsing Meg Whitman).

But the tone of his words spoke of divisions deep divisions political, economic, of pain of suffering that could as he said last for years....

He spoke of his {phoenix like rise] 28 year hiatus since he last served as governor from 1975-1982.

Then his tone suddenly shifted...He spoke about his ' missionary zeal' about the courage, energy, commitment he now brings,( tempered, enriched, we know by years and years of 'public service) 'to transform the breakdown we now witness in Washington and Sacramento into a breakthrough.'

Welcome back, Jerry!

Meanwhile, back in Connecticut, the race for Governor is too close to call. It was expected that Molloy would win. But the registrar of Bridgeport elections underestimated the turnout and the polling locales ran out of ballots in mid-afternoon . So, they had to photocopy new ones and do head counts--which will incite legal challenges.

May the best man win!
