Chris Caruso who lost the September 11th mayoral Democratic party primary in Bridgeport has a penchant for repeat behaviors. It was not too long ago, 2003 in fact, when he lost a mayoral primary to then candidate, now mayor, John Fabrizi. Then, Caruso refused to believe he lost fair and square, and then he filed a lawsuit alleging all sorts of thing that were responsible for his loss.
This law suit has the usual accusations, poll workers that were allegedly for Finch instead of Caruso. People being shown how to vote for Finch, instead of Caruso. It’s as if Caruso really believes that people his campaign called to get out the vote would somehow be swayed to vote for the other guy, based on whatever a poll worker said or did. So much for thinking that voters who bothered to vote may have had a good idea about who to vote for. You’d think Caruso would be madder that 80% of Bridgeport’s Democrats didn’t even bother to show up to vote. If that doesn’t speak to the indifference to the choice between Finch and Caruso, I don’t know what does.
Chris Caruso is just a sore loser. Even in his supposed hot bed of support, Blackrock, he lost. That should tell him something. Where he thought he had strong support, where his message reached active voters, where he could demonstrate his campaign had strength, he instead lost to Finch.
