I had my doubts about Rowland early on. When he represented the heavily Catholic 5th district he was pro-life. Then he decides to run for Governor and SHAZAM he's pro-choice. I guess he heard something on the radio while driving to Hartford to file the papers.
If you elect politicians with no core values you get Republicans like Rowland and democrats like Clinton. Simmons is a fairly well grounded guy with a few positions I do not agree with. He's no Rowland!
