Blumenthal eyes the Senate

He seems to have his eyes on Joe Lieberman's seat, which is just as well as that would end Lieberman's career in the Senate. Richard Blumenthal also denied flatly that he had any interest in running for Governor. From The New Haven Register:

Blumenthal's daily schedule is chock full of such appearances, press conferences, dinners and parades. Is this the time Blumenthal will take all that political capital and run for governor, now that Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell has announced she will not seek re-election, giving Democrats their first good shot at the top job in 18 years?
Blumenthal said no, he's running for attorney general "because it is a job I love because it enables me to fight for people and make a difference. I have no plan to run for governor."
On the other hand, asked if he would run in 2012 for U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's seat, Blumenthal said: "It would be a challenge that I would welcome, if it were the right time to do it, and I thought I could make a difference. Stay tuned."

2010 (4.00 / 1)

If Senator's Dodds numbers don't improve soon, we need Mr. Blumenthal in 2010. Our state can't afford to lose this seat. I am afraid the media will not let up for one minute.

quietly making local appearances.

I would say he is well positioned for whatever direction he decides to take.
