This from Courant reporter Ezra Silk, who spent Tuesday night with the Dean campaign:
After Martha Dean was declared the victor in the Republican primary for state Attorney General, she thanked about 25 staffers, friends, and family members who were gathered with her at her Avon campaign headquarters.
As Dean distributed books on Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Jackson to staffers as tokens of her appreciation, aide Craig Fishbein provoked laughter when he walked into the room carrying about five of her primary oppenent Ross Garber's campaign signs.
Dean's husband and campaign manager Malcolm McGough, grabbed the signs and deposited them outside.
McGough was arrested yesterday in connection with a dispute over the placement of Dean and Garber campaign signs in Canton.
