If there is anyone else from Hartford who voted for Kucinich, please comment or contact me privately. The Courant is reporting only ONE person in all of Hartford voted for him, and while that could be the case, I sort of doubt it. There are towns of only about 10,000 people recorded as having 7 or 8 people vote for him, so I’m a little suspicious about the single voter in Hartford stat.
Yes, I voted for Kucinich. That was my original plan, and I figured that since it is my vote, I can use it to show preference for a candidate who isn’t even running anymore, than for others who don’t align with my politics completely. Gravel was a very close second for me.
Yesterday, I was thrilled to hear my students at Capital Community College talking about the election without any prompting from instructors or tutors. Of course, these students range from 18-65+, and most are actually my age and older…so a little life experience might be responsible for their interest. The college was buzzing about Obama–his visit and him. Last night some people I spoke with outside of work were expecting Clinton to win CT, but judging from the complete adoration I had been hearing about Obama, I was very skeptical.
