Maybe I just missed this, but popular incumbent Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell has announced that she will not seek reelection in 2010. This may be why.
This is a likely D pickup, and former Lie-bermann nemesis Ned Lamont is one of the candidates.
Hmmm, just musing here. Wonder how Rell polls against Chris Dodd for that Senate race. Or Linda McMahon…
In other political news from Talking Points Memo, looks like it’s time for Olympia Snowe to pull an ‘Arlen Specter’ before the Rethugs do it for her:
A new survey of Maine from Public Policy Polling (D) has some dire news for Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), with the moderate Republican potentially losing her 2012 Republican primary against a generic conservative challenger — and by a landslide, no less.
Yikes!
