CT-Gov, Sen: What's Blumenthal's end game? by kos Tue Apr 12th, 2005 at 20:57:27 PDT
Dem George Jepsen, former Senate majority leader, has started raising money for a run at the Attorney General's office. Which means one thing for sure -- current Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has his eyes set elsewhere.
Blumenthal's intentions for 2006 are one of the unknown factors that will shape the next statewide election. Another, of course, is Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell's plans. With their high name recognition and approval ratings, both can afford to wait to begin raising money and organizing a campaign. A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed that Blumenthal and Rell would begin a gubernatorial contest almost evenly matched.
But some Democrats on the ground in Connecticut don't think the governor's race is a lock. While Blumenthal plays coy about when he's going to announce, there are those who think they can talk him into running for senate.
