I prefer Bernier (who’s young enough to run for the Senate eventually), but could live with Greenberg.
The CT-05 gave President Bush 49% in 2004, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Romney carried the CD this year. If you’re correct regarding the second- tier nature of the non-Donovan Dem candidates (as I assume you are), the I think the GOP has an above-average chancele of winning.
... I could live with Bernier.
This story is all the news on the local radio. Donovan is a dumb, charmless creep. So 2nd-tier is he, too. He comes across poorly in his campaign stump speech.
Eliz Esty lost her re-election campaign to the House. One-termer. And was passed over during the special election for state Senate (no primary allowed). She is well-known in feminist and gay circles. A “rising progressive star”. Who couldn’t get re-elected.
She raises money, though. Yalie.
This race would be more exciting if there were decent polling during primary season.
