Simmons stays in...

Despite repeatedly saying he would drop of the Senate race if he failed to win the Republican convention endorsement, shortly after midnight Friday, the Simmons camp issued a press release saying he had decided to stay in and go for the primary challenge against endorsed GOP candidate Linda McMahon.

I ran into Rob and his wife Heidi this morning as they were checking out of the Marriott next to the Hartford Convention Center shortly before 8 a.m. and asked him what changed.
His response, "Let me get back to you on that."

And off they went in search of the car with Gung Ho license plates.

It's Saturday morning now, and we've changed locations and have moved over to the Hartford Expo Center for today's Democratic convention.
