Obamas Embraced

While Democrats in other states are avoiding even saying the word Obama” this election season, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is hitching his reelection wagon to it — with two separate events planned this coming week for his reelection campaign.

First Lady Michelle Obama is scheduled to headline a rally for the Malloy campaign Thursday at 1 p.m. at New Haven’s Wilbur Cross High School.

Then President Barack Obama is scheduled to headline a Sunday rally in Bridgeport, two days before the Nov. 4 election.

Democrat Malloy is in a too-close-to-call rematch with Republican Tom Foley for the governor’s office.
