CT Congress 04: 24 hours

As you know, in the 2010 race for the 4th district congressional race, John McKinney ended all speculation of him challenging Congressman Jim Himes.

In honor of the recent recruiting failures of the GOP, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued a release that documents the Republcian Party's last 24 hours.

Yesterday:

"There are people proactively coming to us. We are doing far less recruiting and more catching."

Today

“Republicans' hopes of ousting freshman Democrat Jim Himes in Connecticut 's 4th District suffered a serious blow, as heavily recruited GOP state legislator John McKinney has taken himself out of the running.”
