Tom Foley and Dan Malloy are endorsed for a rematch of the close 2010 race.

The conventions are over and the results are...familiar. Dannel Malloy and Tom Foley have been endorsed for a rematch of the 2010 race. But there may be a wild card entering the field. Jonathan Pelto is a liberal critic of Malloy and he's considering a run for governor.

Our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse will recap the latest news from the 2014 elections. Also, Education Secretary Arne Duncan was in town yesterday and we discuss his message for Hartford students.
