Ganim Raises Dough on the Reiss Poll.

Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Joe Ganim is citing a Max Reiss February 28th appearance on WNPR’s Wheelhouse in a fundraising appeal. It was a convivial Wednesday morning on Asylum Avenue talking about politics after the WVIT political reporter had finished giving an update on the state of his twins, as I recall.

Max had news of a campaign poll that put Ganim first. Ganim touts it as “very good news.” Your Daily Ructions reporter, also a guest, shared information about a different poll that found Ganim third–running ahead of Greenwich scion and Hartford Democrat Luke Bronin, who is hindered by his emphatic 2015 promise to serve a full term as mayor. Bronin is still exploring a run for governor and is not making friends with meetings with ambitious Democrats that put his elephantine sense of entitlement on display. Descriptions of some of the meetings confirm what Hartford city hall insiders say. Bronin is a bit of a screamer. Where could the former Malloy legal counsel have acquired that habit?
