We have news for Dave McCormick: There is a US Senate race this year in Connecticut. That’s right, Senator Chris Murphy is up for reelection in Connecticut in November.

Longtime Connecticut resident McCormick must not have known this, because why else would he be running for the Senate from Pennsylvania?

Why else would he be spending his money to jet into Pennsylvania to campaign and then jet back to the Nutmeg State? Perhaps he was afraid to run against Murphy? Or perhaps he thinks Pennsylvania voters aren’t very bright and wouldn’t catch on to him, so he could just buy himself a Senate seat from here. No matter, it’s not a good look.

Would someone please tell Nutmeg Dave about the Senate election in Connecticut where he lives? It turns out that the Connecticut primary elections are Aug. 13, so he still has just enough time to jump in.

He should do it and save himself the embarrassment of losing in Pa. for the second time. Sad for Dave, but the voters here will turn out to be a lot smarter than he thinks.
