Former Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy has a history of coming from behind in election campaigns.
He did it in 1995 in the race for mayor when he defeated a Republican incumbent.
He did it in 2006 when he lost in the Democratic gubernatorial primary against New Haven Mayor John DeStefano.
And he's trying to do it this year in a close race for governor against Greenwich cable TV entrepreneur Ned Lamont.
