Moody is the other lady who runs Conn.

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) – The closest adviser to Gov. M. Jodi Rell says in a rare interview that it’s unfair to refer to Rell’s chief of staff as Connecticut’s shadow governor.

Lisa Moody tells The Advocate of Stamford that it’s her job as chief of staff to help Rell and give the governor all the information she needs, but Rell is the decision-maker who is firmly in control of state government.

Moody has been Rell’s closest adviser since Rell’s first run for the state Senate.

Many observers say Moody has a strong role in running Rell’s administration and that her strength extends to her interpersonal style, which has been described as abrasive and bullying.

But Moody says she’s been a a good chief of staff and women in power are often viewed differently than their male counterparts.

Just like President Bush was misinformed about Iraq and the weapons of mass destruction.
Who has been running this state?

Too bad we don't have person with the moxy and common sense of a Sahra Palin to run for Governor. After reading her book, I am more convinced that we need more politicians like her to bring the kind of changes we need to our state.

Oh so your the one who tells her what to do? So we should be blaming you for all the stupid moves jodi makes? I didnt think she was smart enough to sign a bill to have the flags kept on the war vets longer than just memorial day

If we need more people like Sarah Palin, then we surely need more mental institutions to lock you folks up for believing that.

The folks in Alaska strongly supported Palin in all of her public activities and have greatly benefited from her policies and efforts. Only left wing loons can find unfounded fault with her. What is more laughable is how they critisize her new book without reading it.

'This coming from the true leader of the asylum.'

Can you back up this baseless accusations? I'll be waiting, for what seems like a very long time. I do not doubt that Palin may have assisted a portion of Alaskans, but that does not qualify her to become President.

“She did not feel comfortable speaking about issues regarding Hispanics and Latin America,” GOP consultant Ana Navarro told Univision anchor Jorge Ramos in an interview. “Those are not topics that come up frequently in Alaska. So she asked to cancel the interview and, unfortunately, you were already there.”
