Title: Should Rob Simmons Switch Over to the Connecticut Gubernatorial Race? Post by: Bo on January 13, 2010, 07:54:52 PM I'd say Yes, as the Gubernatorial race is one where he might actually win, in contrast to the Senatorial race, which he will now lose. The question is will he?

Post by: Bo on January 13, 2010, 08:34:48 PM maybe he should switch over to CT-02 Courtney will easily defeat him, even in a bad year for Democrats.

Yea, winning CT-02 in the first place in 2000 was a fluke. Winning it back now will be impossible. He should switch to the Governor's race.

Post by: Small Business Owner of Any Repute on January 13, 2010, 09:06:23 PM He'd have a better shot at winning an office if he switched to Governor, but he should stay in the U.S. Senate race. Connecticut voters deserve a choice between two solid candidates.

Title: Re: Should Rob Simmons Switch Over to the Connecticut Gubernatorial Race? Post by: AndrewTX on January 15, 2010, 10:26:28 PM He wont switch to the Gubernatorial race. Regardless of how well he was doing against Dodd, he would have a large uphill battle against Fedele for the nomination. I suspect if he doesnt run for Senate, he would drop out, and wait to see if Fedele asks him to run for Lt. Governor. It would be a wise choice, since they would be able to balance out support from both sides of the state.
