Wikipedia:

Five-term Democratic incumbent Christopher Dodd was reelected with 66% of the vote in 2004.[2] Facing grim prospects for reelection, Dodd announced on Jan 6, 2010, that he is not running for reelection.[3][4] Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D) plans to run for the seat, which is expected to improve the Democrats’ chances of holding the seat in November.[5]

On the Republican side, Euro Pacific Capital President and noted financial pundit Peter Schiff, an outspoken libertarian who has gained attention for correctly predicting the subprime mortgage crisis despite mockery from other industry analysts,[6] announced he is running for Senate on September 17, 2009, after raising more than a million dollars.[7]. Additionally, former Congressman Rob Simmons and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment Linda McMahon have announced their candidacies.[8]

Vincent Forras and Dr. John Mertens have filed paperwork to run as independents.[9]

Barack Obama won Connecticut with 60.59% of the vote in 2008.[10]

So who should conservatives support in Connecticut?

I wish Forras got more ground but he is a real dark horse in this one

McMahon made her money injecting steroids into jocks and called it entertaiment. At the Enfield Republican Town Committee, she was asked if she believed in man made global dwarming, she sais YES

Simmons is strong on national defense, but is a social liberal, he is a Military Veteran LIEberman, sadly

I am holding my nose and voting for the Hawkish LIEberman clone, the others are worse candidates, Forras didnt get any traction, he seemed like a good guy

Who knows? It is still over a month away, Forras might take off, he needs media attention, and if the media doesn’t play you, then you dont exist

McMahon has hired with wife of the state GOP leader Chris Healy for the last 6 months or so, that spells it out who the state GOP is going for: DEEP POCKETS MCMAHON!!
