Who I Voted For
Senate: Ned Lamont (D).
Anyone who's read my blog, or my comments on other blogs, or listens to me rant about politics, knows that I've always hated Lieberman for reasons I don't wish to repeat for the millionth time. I wanted to vote for Ralph Ferucci of the Green Party but since we don't have instant runoff elections, I had to give my vote to Ned.
Representative: Chris Murphy (D).
With no third party candidate to choose from in this race, I had to choose either a taxing Democrat or a Constitution usurping Republican. It's a shame, but I had to run the risk of higher taxes. Johnson is normally a moderate Republican, but her support of W on Iraq and voting in support of the Domestic Spying Program and the Military Commissions Act makes me ill.
Governor: Cliff Thornton (Green Party).
If we had instant runoff elections, Rell (R), the incumbent, would've received my second vote. I realize that Cliff doesn't stand a chance, but I like his platform the most. Rell has a huge lead in the polls so she doesn't need my vote. While I hope that she beats her main challenger, DeStefano, I don't see Rell doing that much better a job than him so I'm not compelled to vote for her as I was Ned in the Senate.
State Senator: Judith Freedman (R).
Her opponent wasn't that bad. Her previous opponent was great, but lost. Freedman got my vote because CT's legislature already has too many Democrats and is almost veto proof.
State Representative: Phil Gallagher (R).
It was a tough choice between him and Jason Bartlett. A letter to the editor by one of the local PTA psychos in favor of Bartlett turned my stomach so I cast my vote for Gallagher. As in the state senate, CT already has too many Democrats. I met Bartlett and found him to be a nice guy. Gallagher came around to visit but my wife and I were in the middle of hanging a cabinet in our bathroom so neither one of us could answer the door.
I won't bore you with the other positions.
Notice a pattern to my voting? I voted for Democrats at the national level because I felt that DC was too far to the right. I voted for Republicans at the state level (except for Cliff) because Hartford, our capitol, is too far to the left. I guess we'll find out tomorrow how it all turned out.
