You'd have to figure that in a Democrat cannonball competition, Chris Caruso would win hands-down. But among the Bridgeport Democratic establishment it was lanky State Senator Bill Finch who took the prize today as he announced that he will seek the nomination to succeed John "Snowball" Fabrizi as mayor of Connecticut's largest city.
Pound for pound, Caruso will be no pushover: coming just a few votes short of defeating Fabrizi in the 2003 primary. But, much like in Hartford, Caruso has few friends among Bridgeport political players and it will be a difficult task to wrest the nomination from Finch. Like Yokozuna taking on the Hulkster in WrestleMania 9, this will be the marquis race throughout the summer months. I can't wait to see how many Republican and Democrat legislators contribute to Caruso's bid--a victory for him in Bridgeport is a victory for everyone at the Capitol.
