Connecticut (the insurance capital of the nation) voting for Obama (who all but promises to put the health insurance industry out of business) is good stuff. Future historians will have to sift through the rubble and wonder what was in the drinking water.

Scott Brown redux, IMHO.

“In that race, Ms. McMahon came across as a multimillionaire trying to buy herself a Senate seat.”

Well, that’s exactly what she’s trying to do a second time.

But this time she may win, because Chris Murphy is a poor candidate. If she -does- win, it won’t be by any large margin (see next paragraph).

In any case I don’t expect Romney to win here (and I’ve been a CT resident for 62 years). He may generate a modestly respectable showing, but Obama will win here, probably with 53-54% of the vote, at least.

I would enjoy being proven wrong, but that’s how I see it.

Central MA is strongly Republican. Not one Obama sign to be found anywhere.

I was quite impressed with Linda McMahon when she ran in 2010. I don’t agree with her on everything, but she comes across as a smart, capable individual to me. I’d love to see her win in CT.

Mrs. McMahon has an office next to ours. I’ve met her and a couple of her staff frequently in the hallways. FWIW, they come across as good people. Husband seemed OK the one time I ran into him, too.

Here's a small indication of what's happenening in CT - my next door neighbors have been hard core democrats for the 20 years I've known them. One is a Teamsters local official. Yesterday morning, two signs sprouted up on their lawn - one for Linda McMahon and one for a local Republican State Senator. Seeing them while pulling out of the driveway, I called out "Republicans? Seriously?" and received the following answer... "We've had enough".

There's an undercurrent that the polls aren't reflecting. The "rank and file" aren't pleased with the status quo.
