Connecticut is insane. They've put themselves in the exact same position as California.

I really don't know what you're talking about.  Simmons polls about the same as McMahon.  Schiff polls worse.  None of the three has a real shot at winning unless Blumenthal implodes, anyway.

Blumenthal's lead has shrunk by 13 points in Quinnipiac's polling since the Vietnam story broke.   It's still a very comfortable lead, though.

Simmons would have been a much better candidate than McMahon if he had had her money bags.

I disagree. Meanwhile, back in popsicle.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The only way to win this was for Dodd to stay in.

[Rowan]

Some good trendlines for McMahon if nothing else.

McMahon has been running an ad campaign for a while.  Pretty much name recognition explains their relative polling.

This was on the news tonight. They focused more on the drop of a few points compared to last time than the fact that he's still 20 points ahead of the embarrassment.

Having a Republican senator in Washington wouldn't help CT's fiscal problems at the state level, thats what the Governor and Assembly are for.

     I think he meant the Connecticut Republican Party, rather than the people of Connecticut in general. Not to mention that I doubt Connecticut has anywhere close to the fiscal problems that California does.

We have a looming budget crisis, I'm not sure exactly how bad it is, though probably less severe than the early 90's one, which led to the opening of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. Its definitely not as bad as California's.
