Connecticut: Blumenthal campaign worried their voters are not turning out
Wireupdate ^ | November 2, 2010 | By Joe Brooks

Posted on 11/02/2010 1:58:09 PM PDT by MaestroLC

Low supporter turnout for Richard Blumenthal has forced the campaign to send out an alert Tuesday afternoon urging supporters to get out to the polls.

“Voter turnout appears to be heavy in areas that benefit our opponent,” The campaign email read".” It is critical that we maximize our efforts to get our supporters to the polls. We need your help”

Blumenthal is running against Linda McMahon in a highly publicized campaign for US Senate in Connecticut. The Real Clear Politics average of all national pulling has Blumenthal leading McMahon by 9 points, however that lead has been shrinking in recent weeks.

Polls close in Connecticut at 8PM ET.

Wow! Is right! Coons (DE) has also warned his base about low voter turn out!

Worrying about turnout seems to be the dem meme today. Kagan, Coons, and now Blumenthal.....who’s next?

My dream is to wake up tomorrow to the words “House - super majority; Senate - super majority” “pResident Obama has now become irrelevant” [I know it isn’t possible, but I can dream can’t I?]

This would be HUGE!!! Coons said the same thing. If the GOP wins either of these two states, it’s all over. And now they might win both!

Maybe Blew-menthol can get all of his FAKE Marine war vet buddies to show up and support him.

I'm a former Marine and I think he's one of the lowest life forms there is as a liar and a fraud.

This is a pattern across a large part of the country where there is low voter turnout in Democratic precincts. I live in one in Northern VA and it was very low this morning. This pattern happened in 2009 when the GOP crushed in our state elections.

Its not panic, but all democrats are sending identical emails just to encourage voters.
This means nothing.

I’m sure Sgt. O’Neil, Bunny, King, Big Harold, Manny and Chris will all be there to support him!

Yikes!

It looks like I’ve been giving the Dhimmi ground game WAY too much credit. I figured they’d push, shove, and drag enough deadbeats to the polls to counteract the GOP tide. Must be that even the goons on the ground are turned off by the lefty BS.

Earth to Rick Blumen(idiot)thal: If they don't turn out they are NOT voters.

You are right! Every election it’s the same tactic and every election Hannity gets fooled again and does the Democrats’ GOTV for them!

The guy running against Charlie Rangelcalled in Bill Bennett today and sound almost stunned that he even has a chance, the numbers were looking good for him.

Think big their is a poster here that has been predicting 132 in the house. I am beginning to think she isn't nuts..

I hope so. How a guy who lied about military service in Vietnam can be ahead in the polls is beyond me.

And I suspect it is total Bravo Sierra. It's an attempt to suppress the R vote.
