I really wanted to write about issues today.  In Connecticut, the word on everyone’s lips is the economy.  Chief Executive magazine ranks the state 46th (yes, 46th!) in terms of favorability for doing business.  Crippling tax hikes, a perpetual fiscal deficit, and a shrinking labor market are driving employers away from the Nutmeg State.  While the state enjoys the 6th best education system in the country according to Education Week, economic competitiveness and the job market continue to suffer.

Against that backdrop, I wanted to write today about the inefficiencies in Hartford preventing a righting of this listing ship.

But I can’t.

What changed?  A damning audio tape from the Republican presidential candidate, in which he brags about his fame allowing him to maul women at will.  Every day I wake up and think he can’t sink any lower.  And every day, he continues to prove me wrong.  The tape reveals a candidate that is sick, disgusting, and absolutely perverted….in other words, a standard page from the playbook that we have witnessed over the past 16 months.
