One thing you won't get most candidates in Connecticut's Aug. 10 primary to talk about is whom they're supporting in races other than their own.

With the exception of the Ned Lamont-Mary Glassman vs. Dan Malloy-Nancy Wyman tickets in the Democratic primaries for governor and lieutenant governor, there are few public alliances between candidates across contested primary races.

In the Republican race for governor, Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton dropped out (like Glassman on the Democratic side) to run for lieutenant governor as Michael Fedele's informal running mate. But the other two candidates, Tom Foley and Oz Griebel, chose not to run "with" a lieutenant governor nominee.

And when we asked our readers what slate of candidates they were supporting, it was all over the place. Even some who are supporting Fedele prefer his opponent in the lieutenant governor race, Lisa Wilson-Foley, and many supporting Boughton prefer Griebel or Foley over Fedele.

We looked for patterns of support between the U.S. Senate and 5th District Congress races, but honestly found none.

Support for Justin Bernier, or Sam Caligiuri, or even Mark Greenberg (who has endorsed Peter Schiff in the Senate race and vice versa) does not, apparently, tie to support to any one candidate for governor or Senate.

A Register Citizen editorial this morning wonders if Connecticut is about to make a big mistake via inattention to the most important race on the Aug. 10 primary and November general election ballots.

It's non-scientific, of course, but a RegisterCitizen.Com poll so far this morning finds, so far, that only 25 percent of readers can name all five major party candidates for governor.

"This bill was repeatedly rejected by the American people and it is especially bad for Connecticut, the insurance capital of the world. It contains a number of job-killing provisions that will guarantee lost jobs in our state. It nearly doubles the tax on health insurers and triples the penalty on small businesses who don't offer health care insurance to their employees from $750 to $2000 per employee and applies the penalties to both part-time and full-time workers. Other provisions raise the top marginal rate on small business owners by 20 percent and the top tax rate on investment income by 60 percent - discouraging economic growth and job creation. These provisions will decimate small businesses and cost Connecticut jobs at the worst possible time."

"Providing health care to the uninsured is a worthy goal, but the one size fits all approach of this legislation is particularly harmful to states like Connecticut where about 95 percent of our citizens do have coverage. One of the stated goals of Obamacare is to provide coverage to 93 percent of our population - and while Connecticut has already achieved this - we continue our efforts to provide coverage to all the uninsured. But states should have the ability to tailor programs to reach the uninsured - as Connecticut has done with the Charter Oak program - without the "bigfoot" approach of this bill."

"I urge our Attorney General to join other states in filing suit to stop the implementation of this legislation."
