Would John McKinney have won Connecticut?

[The Other Castro]

Highly doubtful. McKinney didn't have many friends outside of the Fairfield area.. plus Republicans in Connecticut have a tendency to only support horrible Candidates since 2010.

pretty much this. I'm from the Fairfield area and I, along with many D/I people I know, didn't vote for Foley but would've voted for McKinney.

As someone from CT 4th, yeah McKinney definitely would've done better than Debicella and probably could've won (in 2010, not 2014 though)

Both McKinney and Debicella were horrible candidates, I doubt McKinney would have done any better. If Republicans in the 4th want to nominate a candidate who could actually have a chance, they would give Toni Boucher a call.

A lot of people there that know them kind of think Boucher is an idiot but somewhat like McKinney. That might just be my town specifically and not all of the 4th but Boucher would've been a horrible choice IMO
