Perhaps in 2012 he can try again. He was the best damn congressman this lousy state ever had. We don’t deserve him.mccommashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527649788851312579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-45511098339308615742010-07-24T17:13:59.867-04:002010-07-24T17:13:59.867-04:00Weicker sold Apple Jack Farm in Greenwich and move...Weicker sold Apple Jack Farm in Greenwich and moved to Virginia for awhile, but he's back - I think in Essex or Mystic.<br /><br />There are some, Weicker not among them, who believe that he never was a real Republican.<br /><br />Simmons is broke. From whom will he get the money to mount a successful campaign against Blumenthal? The national Republican Party is agin'em. And the state Republican Party is not likely to favor with contributions someone who has run against the state party nominee. Deep in his bones, Simmons probably knows all this.<br /><br />Some people in politics run campaigns to win, others to make a point. The same holds true in primaries. The cardinal rule in politics is that you can't defeat a nobody with nothing, and Blumenthal isn't a nobody.Don Pescihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167988001948356357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-5591034453744732772010-07-24T17:11:35.669-04:002010-07-24T17:11:35.669-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Don Pescihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167988001948356357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-32417843262370292182010-07-24T17:06:52.508-04:002010-07-24T17:06:52.508-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Don Pescihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167988001948356357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-37312512253961787432010-07-24T16:50:58.419-04:002010-07-24T16:50:58.419-04:00Hummm.

Weicker does not need to decide since 1, he does not live in Connecticut and 2, is no longer a Republican.<br /><br />I don't think McMahon is a certain loser but I do think Simmons is a better choice for lots of reasons.<br /><br />Coulter said that it is true Simmons leans left on some things but he is as good as CT is ever going to get. Anyone more conservative would lose. You take your Scott Browns when you can't get a Newt or a Palin.mccommashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527649788851312579noreply@blogger.com
