Fortunately for the Democrats, Dodd had the common sense to get the hell out of the way.

Dick Blumenthal has been one of the, if not the most popular statewide politician in the state of Connecticut for nearly a decade now. I prediect he will win with atleast 57% of the vote, minimum.

Popularity is a fleeting thing.  It's easy to be popular as AG, where you get on TV for doing nice things to (supposedly) help little old ladies, widows and orphans against evil greedy corporations.   It's not like you're taking positions on things like raising taxes or cutting spending - the type of thing that makes the public mad at you. Blumenthal is the clear favorite, but let's see what happens when Blumenthal starts campaigning and debating before declaring the seat super super safe D.

Coakley and Spitzer didn't exactly make a great transition from AG to Senate candidate or Governor.

[Jensen]

I prefer Simmons to Blumenthal.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I'd say Spitzer made a pretty damn good candidate.



Yeah, so he hired a hooker later. Irrelevant.

I didn't say Spitzer didn't make a good Gubernatorial candidate - against a nobody in a wave election, BTW.  But he did make a horrible Governor, even before the highly relevant hooker hiring that ran him out of office.  You can't try to govern a state as a "f'n steamroller."  Bully tactics may work in the AG's office - but they're not persuasive when dealing with a co-equal legislative branch.

I dont think Blumenthal will go down the same road as them. Believe me, I'm a HUGE Rob Simmons supporter, or atleast I was before Dick joined the race. Now I'm leaning Simmons, but who knows who will get my vote come election day.

I wonder if Cuomo has any kind of realistic shot at outpermoring Spitzer... I seriously, seriously doubt it but who knows...

Well, maybe you guys will nominate the wrestling loser and you won't have to worry about it.

If Simmons drops out, and McMahon is the nominee, I will probably be the first person on my street with a Blumenthal sign in the yard.

[Jensen]

I like Simmons quite a bit. Is McMahon another loony?

I like Rob a lot. He is a great guy, but Dick has done so much for the State, and I've voted for him in his past two elections. McMahon is a nut job in my book. She really hasnt brought too many ideas to the table, except for letting everyone know that she is the former CEO of the WWE.

[Vepres]

What!?! A popular Democrat AG leading his opponents in a heavily Democratic state, I'm shocked!
