Connecticut Local Politics

In Play

It occurs to me that now that Iowa and New Hampshire have produced an inconclusive result at best, that this thing is going to drag on through Super Duper Tuesday. Weirdly, for the first time in my memory, Connecticut actually matters in a presidential primary. Not very much, mind you, but we matter.

To that end, Capitol Watch reports that Hillary’s campaign in-state has a distinctly Fairfield County feel. Which doesn’t sound so bad until one looks at the cartogram of Connecticut:



That area with all the BIG squares near New York is where Hillary’s new steering committee is coming from. Which begs the question: does Obama have a chance to win here if Hillary has strong support in western CT? And what about Rudy, McCain and even Romney?

Interesting times.
