Obama Gets Retail Politics Right in CT
I gave Barack Obama high marks for visibility in the Super Tuesday primary in Connecticut. I've had two mailings from him and an automated phone call and I've seen several of his ads on TV. Hillary? Who's that? The GOP is mostly invisible, although I've seen McCain signs sprout locally. I'm hoping to see some bright-eyed volunteers working the train stations tomorrow and Tuesday, a staple of local elections.
This gives Obama the edge in terms of top-of-mind awareness when I vote in the Democratic primary bright and early on Tuesday. As is my wont, I'll do what I can to be an insurgent troublemaker, as when I voted for Ned Lamont in the 2006 Democratic primary for the Senate, then voted for newly independent Joe Lieberman in the general elections. What fun that was!
I'm still holding out for a McCain-Lieberman fusion ticket, which is not far-fetched. In December, Joe endorsed John. Gay Patriot, among others, has blogged about the possibility, with a jaundiced eye, however. And Lieberman has flat-out said he would not be VP under McCain.
But you never know what might happen when a nation turns its lonely eyes to Joe, woe-woe-woe.
Only in Connecticut, kids, only in Connecticut.
