Just as I said I would, I voted straight Working Families. Yes on Absentee Ballots, No on any Town Charter revision. The parking lot was full which might lead you to think turnout was high if you didn’t read the vote counter on the scoring machine. Two Hartford precincts will remain open for an extra half hour because the voter lists were delivered late this morning.
This is an opportunity for you to record the debacle, which appears at the moment to be every bit as bad as the gloomiest predictions. So Democrats, do you care about “electoral victory” or not? Or only if the “right” kind of Democrats (meaning Blue Dog, Third Way, DLC, New Democrats) win? Don’t be afraid to contribute your personal thoughts, we publish lots of stuff with which we don’t necessarily agree.
