No, she isnt going to be Senator, ever.  She was barely a credible candidate for SoS, and Connecticut has a bench full of democrats who can easily win a Senate seat. If she were to run, she would probably be embarassed by a landslide primary loss.

This, and I think Bysiewicz was too badly damaged by her attempt to run for AG in '10. She came off looking like an unscrupulous opportunist.

People were stupid enough to vote for her because she ran for an office nobody cares about. If she ran for re-election this year, won in a landslide, and ran for Senate in 2012, she would lose. She just isnt THAT electable, and I know that sounds stupid. Her best bet would be to just stay retired, and pretend to be a Lawyer.

I dont think he is going to retire. He's goin to either delay the announcment with some fancy yankee connecticut speaking, or will just say he is running.

Because she looks like a little boy. That, and she isnt very electable in the primary. CT is going to pick a new Senator for life, so they will probably go with someone young. I feel like Chris Murphy is going to be running, but I hope that maybe someone like Ryan Bingham from Torrington runs on the Republican side.

that would be awesome because the news networks would give us so many wrong pronunciations of her name.

Her name is surpsingly easy to pronounce once you hear it. But the fun part is to mispronounce it on purpose, and she flips.

Bingham is too young to be Senator. He will be 29 in 2012.



obvious words are obvious.

Well then, who are you thinking of? John McKinney?

Someone McKinneyish I guess. But we have a few younger Republicans in positions like Bingham, who are just at that perfect age to run. Hell, Dan Debicella would be an intersting candidate. He wouldnt win, but it would be someone I could support.

 The CT GOP makes it soo difficult for me to support anyone we run state-wide.
