Republicans to Crowd Race for U.S. Senate Nomination.

With five weeks to go before their May 9th nominating conventions, state Republicans are anticipating late entries into the contest for party’s U.S. Senate nomination to face incumbent and faux Vietnam veteran Richard Blumenthal. Next week will bring the formal launch of state Representative Dan Carter’s campaign. He is likely to arrive on the shoulders of his House colleagues. Jack Orchulli, the party’s 2004 nominee for seat, is also giving serious thought to beginning a late blooming campaign.

No week in the race would be complete without bumbling hopeful Augie Wolf relaunching his campaign with the announcement of a new management team. Two of Wolf’s new hires are veterans of the Ben Carson presidential campaign, so they have experience in dealing with a candidate who speaks in non-sequiturs, riddles and assorted nonsense.
