Just getting close in CT would be a tremendous victory. Gathering up all the popular vote possible is important. We need to make for some non-working and dejected Rat lawyers on Nov 3rd by not even making it close.
This dovetails with Hartford Courtant endorsement
One HUGE reason rational connecticut residents may end up voting AGAINST Kerry - He is a THREAT to their JOBS
1 - Defense contractors number 1 in employment - United Technologies (HQ, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Engines, Hamilton Sunstrand, Sikorsky Helicopters, Norden Systems); Electric Boat; General Electric; Kaman Helicopters; Groton Naval Shipyard; plus all the subcontracting base for these companies - Even Dodd has to be a hawk in terms of defense spending
2 - Insurance companies probably still #2 employer (Travelers, Aetna, Cigna.......) - Nationalized healthcare is not in CT's best interest....
I heard someone said today bush wants to make sure he wins the popular vote this time and that is why the person in the dems states like NJ.............But I think Kerry plan to tax the biggest voting block for Gore in 2000, people making over 160,000 K a year...(remember his tax plan is for anyone over 147,000K, not 200K like he claims....)is hurting Kerry in some of these nothern subrans that went Gore in 2000.....
