Command Post Correspondent JimK, Reporting for duty!
I will be posting any CT-relevant news I find or ferret out for The Command Post tomorrow...they have 86 or so folks from all over the US and elsewhere who will be blogging the hell out of this election. No stone shall go unturned.
If you find a great CT-related story that you don’t see here, shoot me an email and let me know. Use my gmail address, which is stark23x at that gmail place, which is a dot com.
And here’s my first entry…
I was surprised to see this in the Nov. 1 edition of the Yale Daily news this morning. I was convinced that New Haven was so blue it bled, well, blue. I was also fairly certain that the university had issued a memo disavowing Ol’ Dubya, but then I remembered he’s a Bonesman too. :)
The Yale College Republicans and Yale Students for Bush rally in front of Payne Whitney Gymnasium as part of a final effort to garner support for President George W. Bush’s re-election.
Interesting.
Anyway, I’m not sure how much election activity in Connecticut will be relevant to the Command Post readership at large. We have very few hotly contested races this year in the land of Martha. Be that as it may, I will do my best to dig up something worth reading. Who knows, maybe one of our mayors will pull a gun on some hapless voter for not voting straight (D), or one of the entrenched Senators will get caught soliciting a minor before the polls close. We do have some crazy stories ‘round here.

Well, it’s 6:30 and I’m wearing my I voted sticker. There was only one advocate out front for a local candidate who’s name I cannot seem to recall at the moment. Everything else went fairly smoothly. There were about 75-100 people there waiting in line when I got there, but the line moved quickly after the polls opened. They called my roll, and as it turns out, they had my house number wrong 53 instead of 62. No big deal they said, and I cast my vote.
The only thing I saw that was suspect was a guy who walking in with an oust Bush button on. All in all, people were pleasant, but for the most part everyone was in their upper 70’s. I guess that’s what you get when you go to the poll at 5:30 in the morning.
