“Call me cynical”

CONN is a case study in possibilities.
1. It is tough terrain for Conservatives
2. We are undermanned and underfinanced
3. There was a lack of focus in the grassroots on this task ... only the HOUSE GOP itself worked this effort over the past 6 years.
4. Yes, the GOP in the SEnate is fullblown RINO country.
5. But, the GOP in the CT House is largely conservative across the board.

” “If 1,890 votes had been switched in the dozen closest races, Republicans would have controlled the House for the first time since Ronald Reagan was in office,” said Rep. Larry Cafero, leader of the GOP caucus.

In the closest race, Rep. Michelle Cook, D-Torrington edged out Republican challenger Dan Farley by just 52 votes, according to tallies filed with the Secretary of the State’s office.

And in another close contest in the Northwest Corner, veteran Democratic Rep. Roberta Willis of Salisbury beat GOP challenger Brian Ohler by 127 votes, according to the House Republican campaign committee.”

Perhaps this demonstrates how fragile the Progressive stranglehold is. With More effort ... they can be crushed. It can be done. Go away, ye defeatists!

That’s weird.
