CLICK HERE for a story about the Republican Congressional Committee's apparent plans not to target 5th District Congressman Chris Murphy in 2010 as a race it will pour resources into and thinks it can win.

That's a big change in a formerly solid Republican district that has been a fierce battleground between the two national parties over the last three or four elections.

Was Murphy's re-election to a second term that strong over Republican Sen. David Cappiello?

And one wonders, due to the historic Republican strength in the 5th District, whether this strategy will change if an unusually strong 5th District challenger emerges.

(Such as, let's say, our own Sen. Andrew Roraback?)
