CT,Sen: Quinnipiac - McMahon leads by 3

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

If CTers were all too willing to reject her in 2010, why oh why oh why would they want her now? I just don't get it.

Blumenthal was a popular AG while Murphy is some wacko office hopping leftie.

You're forgetting the problems that Blumenthal's campaign had.

I really don't understand this flirtation with McMahon, though. What appeal is there?

I would guess to say that they deeply regret the self-inflicted wound known as Dan Malloy and prefer the 'trashy wrestling promoter', and that the rise of the Republican party since 2008 has helped.

...

...Malloy's job approval is tied in this poll, you know.

I also note that this poll has Lieberman at 50/38 approval, which, what. Looking further into this poll, none of these numbers frankly make much sense.

Eh, Murphy strikes me as to an extent a man of the people. Distinctly white-collar background and he's obviously a well-off guy or he wouldn't be running for Senate, but he's not some sort of moneybags or ivory-tower so-called 'city father'.

Martin Heinrich is a man of the people, as is Claire McCaskill although she's beset with other things working against her. Dianne Feinstein (for example) isn't but she has other things working in her favor.

Bernie Sanders is a man of the people. Heidi Heitkamp is a woman of the people.

Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin are women of some people but not others. Shelly Berkley is not a woman of the people.
