There You Go Again?

Another Fedele campaign endorsement in the Republican gubernatorial contest is raising questions.  Goshen First Selectmen Robert Valentine appeared on a February 4th list of Republican officials endorsing Tom Foley.  Valentine was also included in Lieutenant Governor Michael Fedele’s February 25th release of endorsers.  Which is it?

The Foley campaign sounds more confident it has Valentine’s support.  Justin Clark wrote in response to an email that the campaign verifies its endorsements and calls the notables on the list to tell them it’s about to be released.  Valentine, according to Clark, heard Foley speak at a Council of Small Towns forum at the beginning of the year and signed on.

Is he sure?  ”Yes. I am sure.”

The Fedele campaign, in response to the same question, said, Fedele “spoke to him  and believed he had his support.”  Valentine is out of state on vacation for two weeks and not available to clarify the confusion.  Fedele will speak to him when he returns.

Another anecdote and we’ll have a trend.  What was that about a Rell endorsement?
