Rassy poll, CT McMahon leading now

[Talleyrand]

Uh, no.

[Talleyrand]

I wish.

There's been a lot of wacky polls as of late.

think its legit myself. mcmahon has name recognition and murphy doesnt have alot to offer.

And what more to offer does McMahon have? I'm not saying this to be aggressive or anything; I'm just curious.

I think it may be plausible, but it's definitely not probable. I do think this year will be better for Connecticut Republicans than 2010 and she is facing a less popular and well-known candidate in Murphy. However, I bet he's going to make up the name recognition in the coming months and pull farther ahead of her. Murphy would be a 39 year old freshman who could potentially go on to be a very powerful Senator, and he's a pretty likable, refreshing guy. I think McMahon may well get closer than last time, but I can't see her making up the gap.

I understand why murphy is running however, 39 is still super dooper young imo for a senator. I'm down the middle politically and I listen to both sides. Given this choice, I'd vote for McMahon ahead of Murphy as I'm not sure he's ready or maybe to young. I can be very narrow-minded sorry.

Okay, but don't forget Murphy  has served three terms in Congress and served in both houses of the Connecticut Legislature from 1999-2006. I think he's pretty ready to serve in the Senate.
