Bacchiochi leads by 23 votes and the remaining votes appear to be from her home area.
She is flawed, backed by CT GOP House caucus. But she is strong on gun rights. Most teaparty groups united behind Somers in their opposition to McKinney.
Team Boughton was betrayed by SOmers so they backed Bacchiocki.
Walker did well in upper income towns that were impressed by his resume. He’s no local yocal.
What a ghost town primary. Disgraceful that the teaparty did not follow the adage of power loves a vacuum. Foley has done little to earn support from the grassroots right.
According to AP, with 100% of precincts reporting, Heather Sumers leads Penny Bacchiochi by 716 votes. Don’t know what is still outstanding (maybe some absentee and provisional ballots?).
Of course, Foley had the race openly stolen from him in 2010, so he’s deserving of retribution against the crook Malloy for that. Frankly, unless they run separate of the Governor on the ballot, the Lt Governor should be chosen by the candidate if they’re elected together. I’d hate to be running and have someone in the #2 slot I was forced to run with that I was completely at odds with.
