Murphy 46


The people of Connecticut are battling against class warfare.

Excellent news

[You kip if you want to...]

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.

[Supersonic]

This could turn out to be the sleeper race of 2012.

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

Golly gee! Just the way I like 'em! Sign me up.

[Eraserhead]

And Obama is only up by 7%.

It won't last but that's still very surprising.

[Keystone Phil]

It won't even be that close in the end but I'm happy that she'll at least make the Dems spend more than they intended to in this state.

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

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.

there is some truth to that all and McMahon is certainly a strong candidate. But to call Murphy an "office hopping leftie" is flat-out wrong. He's very much a rising star in the party and could very well be the youngest senator in 2013 if he wins.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

If anything, I'd say that Blumenthal was a somewhat weaker candidate if only for the Vietnam controversy.  Nevertheless, McMahon will not be winning this seat.

[RogueBeaver]

Murphy is on the defensive and will be massively outspent. However the PVI wall and Obama coattails will give him a clean victory in November. McMahon is a decoy like Heather Wilson in NM.

[Napoleon]

What the f[inks] is going on in this race?

Nothing.

Jodi Rell republicans dumping the democrats moving back home.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

To represent CT as a democrat you have to be superb in duties before attaining the office of senator. Chris Dodd had his father, Dick Blumenthal was a Vietnam vet before the macho thing came out on his service, but had the AG to help him out, and Lieberman was tough on national security. Murphy is a plain ol democrat from CT that hasn't really done that much in particular.

Yes, I noticed. However, he is heavily down with independent voters that make up the bulk of the electorate and those independent voters are putting McMahon in a good place to win this seat.

[Talleyrand]

wacko office hopping leftie.

Haha, no. While at this point the race is definitely a tossup, Murphy is a very strong candidate and is still has a 50-50 shot at winning.

There is none, this is a troll poll.

Thats actually how krazen defines most Democrats running for Senate.

With him, the Republican candidates are usually great, patriotic people while the Democrats are often Bay Area types, wacko lefties, politicians who don't serve the will of the people, or some combination thereof.

There's quite a clear dichotomy with his descriptions.

So fools gold rather than the impossible suddenly becoming possible?

People don't run for Senate in order to be decoys.

No, merely the ones who are quite clearly not performing in the polls. I would presume that a sophisticated pollwatcher like yourself would note the same.

Bob Casey for instance is clearly a man of the people.
