Be Careful What You Wish For

As you've already heard by now, Christopher Dodd has decided not to run in 2010 for his Senate seat.  With Dodd in the race, there was a pretty good shot that either Linda McMahon or Rob Simmons would beat him out.  Now that Dodd has stepped aside, Richard Blumenthal has announced that he is running as the Democratic candidate for the seat his friend currently occupies.

Mr. Blumenthal enjoys a very healthy reputation in the state.  The Republicans will now fight it out for the right to go up against the hand-picked candidate from the Democrats.  It's not looking good for the GOP.  Perhaps Mr. Simmons should bow out and give the better candidate his support.

Nice play, donkeys.

A caller on one of the AM talk shows this evening wondered what would happen to all the money that Obama raised for Dodd's reelection campaign.  Lets see, a corrupt politician already proven to think he is one of the "special people"?  Any guesses?
