Race in the Fifth Gets on the Board.

The nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report warns Congressman Christopher Murphy that he may have a race.  The 5th district contest has made its way onto the Rothenberg tote board of races to watch.  This means something in Washington.

The news from Rothenberg is especially good for Republican hopeful Justin Bernier, who’s mentioned in the report’s assessment of the race.  The determined veteran is in our “feisty” category of candidates who continue through rough weather.

Here’s the Rothenberg summary:

We’ve also moved Connecticut’s 5th District onto our chart into the Democrat Favored category. After meeting with state Sen. Sam Caligiuri (R) and former state director of military affairs Justin Bernier (R), it’s clear that Cong. Chris Murphy (D) can’t take his reelection for granted.
