But peter shicff has raised a lot of money. Also Dodd is obviously not the Kennedy of Ct as proven from his atrocious approval numbers. It seems like anyone could beat him. I think your model holds true more for Delaware. in regard to McMahon. But peter shicff has raised a lot of money.

If this was a true swing state I would be more willing to make that bet, but Dodd will be more formidable than people think, it's not a done deal that he gets beat. The Dodd name is something like a Kennedy in CT, and Dodd will have a huge amount of money to spend because of his position over the years. His scandal is definitely unseemly, but CT voter's aren't foaming at the mouth because he got a special rate for his mortgage. It's not like they found $100,000 cash in his freezer. Democrats also outnumber Republicans by a huge number. I think Simmons will beat him, but he's the only Republican that really stands a chance. The other contender, Linda McMahon (a bored millionaire housewife) doesn't really stand a chance, plus she's no conservative anyway, so I don't see any advantage to support her over Simmons.

Often in blue states like ct we would be forced to go with the liberal R like Simmons in order to win in the general. I think that this is the situation in Delaware with Castle. However, in CT it appears that Dodd is so damaged that he can be defeated by all of the candidates. There are several of candidates that are pretty strong and have good fund raising. Based on what I see it comes down to peter schiff and Sam Caliguiri for conservatives. What do you think? Who do you think the best conservative is in the race.
