For CT, I agree on a Toss-Up rating if Malloy runs, but that doesn't seem likely to me (with a Lean D if he doesn't run). Based on the conversations I've had with some state party people (which occurred before Trump won so plans may have shifted), they don't want Malloy to run again and have talked about a range of people from Kevin Lembo to George Jepsen to Dan Drew.
Who would be strongest in your opinion?
Hmm, Jepsen maybe, though I like Lembo personally (Drew is good as well though he might come off as too young). I think Lembo is much more likely to run than Jepsen though, so I guess him. I haven't heard too much about Looney, but he could be a formidable challenger in a primary.
