Democrat Senate seat in Connecticut is apparently secure. From J.D. Poersch newsletter for patriots like me:
<<<"On Tuesday, Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd announced his retirement. He has ably served the people of Connecticut for the past 35 years, and he will be missed.
The loss of a longtime statesman can deal a huge blow to a political party, but not when a strong candidate jumps into the race. State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has run - and won - statewide since 1990 and is very popular in the state. Polling done this week shows that Blumenthal would defeat the top two Republican candidates by 30 points. In the pollster's words, "It would take an epic collapse for [Blumenthal] not to be Connecticut's next Senator." Those are great words to hear.>>>
Yu can start practicing now; repeat after me: "Senator Blumenthal."
