I believe she is supporting Simmons for Senate ( could be wrong) Republicans in NY, NJ, and CT just need to run on property taxes. Too many people are fleeing these areas because high cost of living She is very popular it will be tough for us to hold the seat but perhaps she also thinks 2010 will be best envior for us and it can be best we retain it

Republicans in NY, NJ, and CT just need to run on property taxes. Too many people are fleeing these areas because high cost of living

As far as her republican credentials, it's what you'd expect from a North East republican. Not a conservative but was effective at mainly holding back the solidly dem state legislature from destroying the state even further.

Maybe not a bad idea. We can beat them to be the first to nominate a Republican. I know I'd take her over Huckabee. I’ve heard many people speculate she may try to run for President in 2012.

Must be pretty good, she is already being talked about as "spending too much money" on the race! http://www.linda2010.com/index.html Rob Simmons was the annointed one, from what I have seen (I am not from CT), he does not seem to have the umph to get this done. Dodd will have the funds to outspend Rob, however, Linda will have the money to respond to anything that is thrown at her. Schiff may too, I dont know...he has done good on the Ron Paul fundraising "money bomb". She already has ads running, take a look at her website.

Rell she has led the state in as a conservative manner as you can get. I would say she is conservative, and for CT even a right-winger. She has to deal with a left-of-center voting base and a Democratic legislature, in a Democratic machine state, she has done a great job. Hate to see her go, she may not be lock-step with GOP politician, but she is a good leader in CT. It would be nice if Rell would run against Dodd, but we got some great candidates already. I think she is outa politics though. “look bad for non-conservative incumbents”,
