I meant to put capital D in bold. House Speaker is always ‘D’ in CT where it is 97-D to 54-R in the House.
This is the old Nancy Johnson (Rino) seat. She lost to lefty Chris Murphy in 2006. An open, swing district that went strong for Foley 54% for GOV in ‘10. The most GOP of the 5 U.S. House seats. But full of small-town RINOs in Hartford burbs and NY border.
I am for Mark Greenberg (R), the true conservative in the GOP primary. How did Sandy Koufax get involved? This thread don’t need no pitchers.
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.
