It’s still a table-running, long-shot, dear-God-everything-has-to-line-up-perfectly, but if Lying Dick Blumenthal is as dead in the water as he looks Connecticut just screeched its way back up on the Big Board. How bad is it? Bad enough that Chris Dodd will be giving his plan to retire a second look. You don’t lie about serving like this. You just don’t.
Fool.
The Torricelli gambit worked in NJ. No reason to think that the Dems in CT cannot nominate someone not as scuzzy as Blumenthal, which will allow them to hold the seat.
