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.
Well, she tweeted that she's running. She has to be the worst possible candidate Connecticut Democrats could possibly run. Incompetent, hackish and unelectable. I doubt she has even the remotest chance to win the primary - but stranger things have happened.
