Lou Jacobson at Governing/Politics http://bit.ly/cyiGMe
has just posted an article in which he predicts “ominous” times for Democrats in various state attorney general races around the country, included a color coded map of the US. Too bad in the little capsule accompanying his Connecticut prediction (leaning Democratic for George Jepsen over Republican Martha Dean) he refers to Attorney General Dick Blumenthal’s departure as a result of his run for “governor.” Does Dan Malloy know this? Jacobson got it right in the body copy, but…..Oh wait, Jepsen is the former state Senate majority leader, not House. Details…Details..Hey standards for accuracy on the Web are overrated.
“Five-term Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is running for the U.S. Senate. The favorite is Democrat George Jepsen, a former state House majority leader, state party chairman and unsuccessful lieutenant governor candidate. Attorney Martha Dean, who’s running from the right, won the GOP convention endorsement and the primary by a 60-40 margin over moderate Ross Garber. In moderate-to-liberal Connecticut, Jepsen is a strong favorite, though given the turbulence of this election cycle, nothing’s out of the realm of possibility.”
