TheC chimes in with a report from West Hartford:


I am in West Hartford, and let me tell you folks - West Hartford is for Ned! I was working at one polling location and it was easily 50+ votes for Ned and maybe 3 for Joe during the time I was there. And people were pumped up. They would give me thumbs up or come talk to me for a while. People are motivated.

As for that vaunted Lieberman army, I haven't seen them yet. There were only Lamont workers at the polls I visited including one in an African-American neighborhood in Hartford. While at the West Hartford campaign offfice, I overheard telephone conversations where the staff member was asking if Lieberman people were out at other polls and, to their surprise, there were none. Same report I got from a Malloy volunteer who supported Lamont from another poll where he had been. Granted, this is all annecdotal, but its the best we can do right now. West Hartford is only one town, but it is fairly decent sized and it votes. They expect 50% turnout today, which is huge in a primary. I had heard there were already 1000 absentee ballots turned in from West Hartford alone. There is still a lot of day left, but I feel really good so far. People are out in force and they want change. Keep up the hard work fellow Nutmeggers! We can win this one today! Share your stories below!
