{news} Re: [CTGP-candidates] race against Dodd?

[Ronna Stuller]

I'm not sure we should assume that Dodd will run in 2010; if his awful  
polling numbers prove persistent, he may decide that it's a good time  
to retire on his own terms.  Perhaps we'll finally see Blumenthal (or  
DeLauro or Larson) running for the Dems. How would that scenario  
influence the Greens' thoughts on running a candidate?

Sorry, I can only think of questions at this point, not comments,  
since my feelings are mixed on so many levels.
