Recruit Blumenthal? (3.00 / 0)

Could CT Dems convince Blumenthal to run if Lieberman does replace Rummy? Isn't Lieberman up for re-election next year? If so, Rell could only appoint someone to complete his current term; that person would obviously be 1)GOP and 2)frontrunner in '06 election. BUT, CT is a Blue state and any Dem with name recognition should be able to win.

The only problem with drafting Blumenthal -- something I wouldn't mind seeing -- is that he's also up for re-election as AG in 2006. Would he take the chance to go after the seat he's apparently always coveted? Maybe. After all, Lieberman burned him in 2000 by running for VP and re-election to his Senate seat at the same time. Prior to that decision, it was assumed that Blumenthal would be the Senate nominee.

Blumenthal will be our next Senator if Joe leaves before the party convention May to take the SOD post.

No Republican Rell could appoint to his seat, including herself, could defeat Blumenthal, who would certainly run for the office in November.
