The polls so far seem to be leaving little doubt that Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who became the Democrats' candidate when Christopher Dodd decided not to seek re-election, has a commanding lead over the three Republicans who want to be their party's nominee for the seat.

Blumenthal holds leads ranging from 17 to 23 points over former Rep. Rob Simmons, former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon, and economist and commentator Peter Schiff, according to a Research 2000/Daily Kos poll conducted Jan. 11-13.

Blumenthal led by even bigger margins in a Quinnipiac University poll conducted Jan. 8-12.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
