For the record, CT, much like Rhode Island and Delaware is actually
two states. In CT, it's East of the River and West of the river.
East
is much more conservative than West of the River. The only reason
Courtney was reelected to his Congressional seat was because of the
Hispanic vote in Norwich and New London - the rest of his district
voted Republican.


Similar situation here in MA. Most of the state is filled with
left wing liberals, but here on the south shore there are at least
3 or 4 of us that tend to be more conservative.

It's evolution in action. More and more voters are realizing that
the modern day Republican Party has little more than greed and
selfishness
underpinning it. This was demonstrated clearly by the last eight
years of the "conservative" Bush Administration and was a sub rosa
theme of the McCain campaign. That and the party demonstrating over
and again that it was mostly for "white folks" is what is doing it in.

Sure.

Note that I am not accusing you of any of this...but your party...it's
future is not too bright at the national level.


I don't have a "party". I'll vote for a candidate from either party
based on his/her views on a case by case basis, but I acknowledge that
my personal views tend towards the right. Even Bill Clinton ended up
being more conservative than his campaign promises led people to
believe. I'll bet Obama ends up being the same.

I just don't like extreemists either way, and I consider people like
Pelosi and Reed to be extreemists.




I cannot believe Al Franken beat a sitting U.S. senator... but I am
enjoying it. Coleman only got into office because Paul Wellstone died
in an accident.


Don't know much about Franken other than the fact that I don't even
think he's funny.

I don't think he is funny, either. I don't have any problems with
Pelosi, but I am not impressed with Reed's performance as Senate leader.
He's not nearly tough enough or eloquent enough.
