Connecticut VP Rankings

Connecticut Democrats
Chris Dodd, Sen, Ranking: 4, Helps Obama with experience, but is boring as hell and has ethical issues.
John Larson: Rep CT-1, Ranking: 4, A centrist, but has only been in Congress since 2000.
Joe Courtney: Rep CT-2, Ranking: 3, A newbie to Congress that does not help Obama in any area.
Rosa DeLauro: Rep CT-3, Ranking: 3, Probably too liberal to be placed on the ticket.

Connecticut Republicans
Jodi Rell: Gov, Ranking: 7, Rell would be one of the stronger picks for VP McCain could make. Rell probably would give McCain a decent boost with woman and very well could deliver Connecticut to McCain.
John Rowland: Former Gov, Ranking: 1, Would have been a strong choice had it not been for a recent stint in prison.
Joe Lieberman: Sen, Ranking: 6, A good FU pick that could help with independents and Jews, but does little to help with the base.
Chris Shays: Rep CT-4, Ranking: 4, First elected to Congress in 1986, but has struggled to hold an increasingly liberal seat.
