Blumenthal, whose bio appears to make him superman, and whose approval rating in CT is 81%, which is astounding for any public official these days, will have to make his policy positions known. He’s not ready to do that quite yet, but that will be a telling barometer of his potential success ... how he straddles fringe New England wacko/conservative issues.

“Blumenthal said several times that he would not discuss the policy issues, saying that “today is really Chris Dodd’s day’’ and that the issues would be debated during the campaign. He added that he had “never been part of a conversation’’ among Democrats to ask Dodd to drop out of the race and that he never counseled Dodd to avoid seeking re-election.”

From what I’ve read of him, if he’s truly incorruptible, he’s quite a guy.
