Malloy And Lamont: On Message
First debate since Democratic convention
Any voter who had glanced at the campaign web sites of Dan Malloy and Ned Lamont would have instantly recognized the two Democratic gubernatorial candidates, who stayed firmly on message during their first one-on-one debate Tuesday.
Malloy is the dyslexic child who grew up to become mayor of Stamford, coping with all the issues facing the next governor. Lamont is the businessman, an outsider who took on Joe Lieberman four years ago and promises to shake things up again.
"I'll be nobody's man but yours," Lamont said, borrowing a line from one of his prominent supporters, former Gov. Lowell P. Weicker Jr.
"This is not a time for on-the-job training," said Malloy, who stepped down last year as mayor of Stamford after 14 years. "The difference is I am ready to lead the state on day one."
