"Malloy Makes It Official: His Choice Is Hillary" Posted in Hill's Room

It’s not a recent decision, nor is it a surprise. But the time has come to go public: With the legislative session over, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president Sunday.

"I've been an admirer of hers for many years, going back to when she was first lady. I want to see her get elected president. I also think she is the best candidate the Democrats could run. I think she is one of the most experienced candidates that any party has run," Malloy said.

Clinton was elected U.S. senator from New York in 2000 as her husband's presidency was winding down. After losing the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, she joined the administration of Barack Obama as secretary of state.

“I’ve known the Clintons for a long time. I think she is the best prepared candidate, and I’m really excited about helping her get elected president,” Malloy said.

One of his friends and DGA predecessors, former Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, announced his candidacy last week, but Clinton already has wrapped up key endorsements, even in O’Malley’s home state. O'Malley should not be surprised by Sunday's news, Malloy said.

The governor and I had discussion about this in the past, where I had made it clear if Hillary was a candidate I would support her,” Malloy said. “And I have had the opportunity more recently to indicate I would be supporting Hillary. But I don’t think there was an expectation I would be supporting him over Hillary.”

Welcome Aboard, Gov Malloy of Connecticut!

run away.

This is a bit of an exaggeration.. we all know Gov Tom Wolfe had Obama campaigning with him in PA and went on to Victory!

"Meet The One Democrat Who Isn't Afraid To Campaign With Obama"



snip//

Hamstrung by low approval ratings and congressional candidates who want to keep their distance, Obama was kicking off the campaign's final three-week push by pitching black radio listeners and holding a rally in Connecticut, a state that tends to vote Democratic and which he won in twice.

Malloy has succeeded in his own state in pushing policies Obama has been unable to do at the national level, such as increasing the minimum wage and enacting tougher gun control measures.

"Hillary Clinton’s Bid for President Earns Props from Hawaii Senators"

Now that Hillary Clinton has made official what has long been expected, she’s getting big tributes from Hawaii’s two U.S. senators and fellow Democrats.

“Today is a great day for Hawaii and our nation,” Mazie Hirono said in a statement Sunday. “Hillary Clinton has fought her entire life to create opportunity and prosperity for American families, small businesses and individuals.”

As Hawaii’s first female senator, Hirono said she understands how important it is for a woman “to finally break the ultimate glass ceiling and win the White House.”

Hillary Clinton’s Bid for President Earns Props from Hawaii Senators

Schatz calls her "a fighter" and "real friend of Hawaii" while Hirono applauds her "tenacious leadership."

For the candidate I believe in. Hillary.

I do not believe in a candidate who's supporters believe that dumping on a thread in a group about Beau Biden's funeral is amusing.

Bernie Sanders, she..

I'd really be interested to know what Sen Sanders would think of a supporter of his dumping on a grieving thread for Joe Biden's son Beau? Not much .. less than zero.

For Beau

But, Malloy is going to be the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association in 2016. So that's interesting..
