More Bad News for Connecticut Republicans: Walker Sniffing Around ’16 U.S. Senate Bid.

Another blow for Connecticut Republicans in the aftermath of November’s disappointing result in the race for governor. David Walker, who came third in the August primary for lieutenant governor, is making noises about seeking the 2016 Republican nomination for U.S. Senate against Democrat Richard Blumenthal, the first term incumbent and faux Vietnam veteran.

Walker, who is new to Republican membership, has been talking to party leaders and notables about making the race against the 68 year old Greenwich millionaire. A persistent obstacle for the No Labels maven will be the trove of tales party loyalists collected last spring and summer featuring Walker’s astounding self-regard.

Walker’s interest in the Senate nod suggests he may break his October promise to sell his Bridgeport home and move to another state if Tom Foley did not make it across the finish line first on November 4th.
