Monday things...

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dan Malloy has scheduled apress conference for tomorrow to make a "major announcement" regarding his campaign. Sounds like he's made his choice for a running mate and will announce that decision....

U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney will be annointed by Democratis for another term at tonight's Democratric 2nd District convention in Colchester...he faces no Democratic chalenge, but lots of challengers from the GOP, Green and Libertarian parties.

And Janet Peckinpaugh's arrival into the 2nd District race as one of those GOP challengers is not being well-received -- by the two GOP candidates who have been in the race the longest, Matt Daly and Daira Novak. . They're not happy...in fact, Daly issued a press release claiming her arrival to the contest was nothing but a cheap ploy by Courtney and Democrats to distract Republicans and thus ensure Courtney's re-election.
