Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: tmthforu94 on November 14, 2009, 05:47:17 PM He might actually break 5%.
If he runs, Dodd's chances will go from about 30% to about 20%.

Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: Bacon King on November 15, 2009, 03:29:55 PM He might actually break 5%. If he runs, Dodd's chances will go from about 30% to about 20%. Raise those odds a tad, I'd say. Simmons will have to bend to the right to make sure he gets through the primary and that will give Dodd more of a partisan advantage.

Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on November 15, 2009, 05:59:21 PM He won't hurt anybody, because he has almost no support left. In 2004, he got 0.82% in Connecticut; in 2008, he got 1.16%. He will do nothing in 2010, even if he does run.

In 2004, he got 0.82% in Connecticut; in 2008, he got 1.16%. He will do nothing in 2010, even if he does run. That being said, I think he'd break 5% easily. Maybe even 10-15% if he's lucky. He has the name recognition down. Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: Vepres on November 15, 2009, 06:24:12 PM He might actually break 5%.

Simmons will have to bend to the right to make sure he gets through the primary and that will give Dodd more of a partisan advantage. Not necessarily, as there is a chance for a vote split among far-right conservatives.

He has the name recognition down. Name recognition is not always a good thing. I would assume his favorable numbers are something like 9/48. And most of the 10% or so who like him will not vote for him. See Patrick Buchanan in 2000. Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: cinyc on November 16, 2009, 06:00:51 PM Do Nader meet residency requirements in CT? According to the Connecticut Secretary of State via Politico, Nader is registered to vote in the state (http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/1109/Will_Nader_challenge_Dodd.html), and therefore eligible to run for Senate. I have no idea where Nader is living right now, but he was born in and started his career in Connecticut. He probably still owns a house or rents an apartment there.

Yea, she's not Simmons. I don't vote GOP, I vote Conservative. Of course, you don't vote at all. Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on November 17, 2009, 06:42:14 PM Simmons is basically a conservative on everything except abortion, I really don't understand what's so unacceptable about him.

Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: CatoMinor on November 22, 2009, 10:08:34 PM Some of my friends want to vote for Nader just out of sympathy for him losing every time.
Title: Re: Ralph Nader considering run for Connecticut Senate Seat in 2010 Post by: Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl on November 22, 2009, 11:54:58 PM Good. Unless the GOP nominates Peter Schiff, it's just going to be a boring sham of an election with one establishment stooge against the other. Of course I'd prefer Schiff win, but Nader could at least make the race mildly interesting.
