Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D), "the state's attorney general since 1990 and once Connecticut's fastest-rising political star," was asked if he'll run for governor now that Gov. Jodi Rell (R) is not seeking re-election, reports the New Haven Independent.
"He answered it the way he does every four years -- vaguely, with lots of wiggle room. He said he has 'no plans' to seek the 2010 Democratic nomination -- for now. But he's 'listening' to people urging him to run."
