Green Party to nominate Larson critic on Wednesday

Green Party activist Steve Fournier plans to make his race against U. S. Rep. John Larson formal when the party holds its nominating convention at this home in Hartford, according to his blog post here.
Larson, an East Hartford Democrat whose 1st District includes Bristol, is also expected to face opposition from Republican Joe Visconti, a West Hartford town councilor.
Fournier writes that "over the coming months, voters will be surveying the damage done to the country by the two parties. If ever there was an opportune year for third-party candidates, this is it."
Larson has represented the heavily Democratic district since 1998.

Steve: Thant's nice it's too bad that the window for Conressional nominations isn't until May.

This is an illegal convention, but since when has the Green Party cared about the rules.

By the way is the big dipper runing. Or maybe he wants Rells job. After all he could screw the state like he did the city. Maybe he could get more jobs for his kids.

Frank is running, but the question is, is Ron Burns running?

Will Rell have to promise the Boys Club something to let Ron run and still keep his job?
