CTNewsJunkie.com: He's Running for Governor, Too - "A heating and air conditioning salesman, Hanscomb said he spent most of his time talking to customers about everything except the products he was selling them. In those conversations, he kept hearing from people that they needed another choice beyond the two-party system."
