It would be funny if it was Cary Kennedy vs. Walker Stapleton. Only one of them is part of a political family.

[RogueBeaver]

CT: Ted Kennedy Jr. probably running.

[heatcharger]

CT: Ted Kennedy Jr. probably running.

Good. Malloy must be stopped from running again, although I'm not sure if having two Kennedys run is a good idea.

[The Other Castro]

CT: Ted Kennedy Jr. probably running.

Maybe not the strongest candidate, but still better than Drew or Malloy.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Obviously, the Kennedys are running for Gov in CO and IL and possibly CT. Obviously, Maria Shriver who was 1st Lady of Cali is encouraging them to run.

Cary Kennedy AFAIK is not one of THOSE Kennedys

Tim Walz in for MN Gov. http://www.postbulletin.com/news/politics/walz-to-run-for-governor/article_bf1a1a38-f506-5c21-b2f1-cf2365af29c0.html

Seems like he'd be the favorite in the Democratic primary over Coleman

Echh MN-1 is going to be a tough seat to hold.

[Vega]

CT: Ted Kennedy Jr. probably running.

Endorsed. Bit ambitious given how he was just elected to the State Senate, but whatever.

[FairBol]

Oh Jesus, another Kennedy? No thank you!

[smoltchanov]

Oh Jesus, another Kennedy? No thank you!

Why not? I am not flaming liberal, but i like Kennedy's since 1963))))

[The Other Castro]

CT Comptroller Kevin Lembo (D) sounds like man that wants to run for Governor.

[KingSweden]

Sounds like a lot of people are lining up under the expectation that Malloy is on the outs

[KingSweden]

Per DKE so grain of salt but it sounds like former OK AG Drew Edmondson (D) is gearing up for a run for Gov. Surprisingly A-list candidate who has won statewide four times, though I'm skeptical he can beat Lamb in OK even in a Trump midterm

[FairBol]

He probably is, thank God.  Still anybody's guess as to whether he will run for a third term, but....the man is EXTREMELY unpopular right now. 

[Hindsight was 2020]

Not really talked about but how much does the Raiders move to Vegas help Steve Sisolak if he makes the governor run?

I don't follow Connecticut politics super closely...why is he so unpopular?

It's not a great comparison, but may be easiest to understand in casting him as the Brownback of CT. Everyone has some reason or another to dislike him. A lot of it has to do with his poor handling of the budget and job record.

Depends. It's a nice feather in cap, though Sandoval spearheaded much of it too. The cost to Nevada is a bit eye popping though, which may hurt

[MAINEiac4434]

This Boston Globe article about Chris, Ted Jr. and Joe Kennedy says that Joe is expected to be in congress "for a long time" – striking down one of Baker's potential challengers (and maybe a 2020 presidential canddate).

Rick Nolan is "leaning towards" a run for MN-GOV. Will decide by the end of the month.

One outstate candidate is enough, IMO

Pelmutter likely to announce CO-GOV bid this Sunday. Has an announcement speech scheduled in Golden, and a new logo:
