If she runs for reelection she'll win.

That's true if she can recover effectively from her current misuse of state funds scandal [medium-high probability] and avoid any further ones [medium-unknown probability]





By the way, can we nominate someone besides Lamont?  The visual imagery is just going to be bad, and I'd rather not have Lieberman sitting there campaigning for Rell for an entire year.

I wonder if the "Conservative Party" is planning to run a third-party candidate in this race to ensure a Democrat victory.  Maybe Hoffman can run - if district lines don't deter him, why should state lines?

State lines matter for Senate races, I'm not sure about CT's election laws.  But really, incumbents like Rell don't lose their own primaries unless they are REALLY unpopular...like worse than Corzine or Blago '06.  Think like Gibbons...Rell's not there yet.

How does Connecticut feel about Governor Blumenthal? 

Also, will any of the challengers for Dodd's seat pivot to the state house?

Connecticut Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele (R) has thrown his hat in the ring, FWIW.

Smart move on his part, I'm sure he's been considering this since Rell's scandal first broke in case she had to spontaneously resign or not seek reelection. 

Will take a few weeks though for the race to settle I suppose...I don't know if any CT Congressmen have ambitions [they have two farts as Senators] or if Blumenthal will man up etc.

Well, Blumenthal does tease Democrats every four years, but I believe he's more interested in running for Lieberman's seat in 2012.

That was before, but at the time the governor's seat didn't even look competitive

But yeah, who knows.  It's easier to make the transition to governor though since that won't involve moving to D.C.

Eh, if it's a Lamont/Dodd ticket, I could see them still having a shot.

Is it possible that in 2011, no Republicans will control any New England state?

Of course that's possible, a few caveats of course that you have to allow for Independents in RI & MA, and the GOP could easily surround New England with governorships in MI, OH, PA, NJ Smiley
