I like filthy rich people.

So do I.

Let it be said that Greenwich (Lamont's hometown) voted for Bush twice, as did New Canaan (Ann Coulter's very wealthy hometown), Darien, and Ridgefield.

Meanwhile those "salt of the earth blue collar Democrats" in West Haven, New Britain, New London, Middletown and Meriden continue to vote for the likes of Rose Delauro, Gore, and Kerry. Would be interesting to see how they voted in the primary, however.

West Haven...61/39 for Lieberman
New Britain... 52/48 for Lieberman
New London...50/50 for Lamont (2 vote win)
Middletown...45/56 for Lamont (a collegetown, not blue collar)
Meriden...48/52 for Lamont

Lamont's best showing...
Cornwall
Canaan
Salisbury
Lyme
Sharon
Warren
Mansfield
Roxbury
Sherman
Essex

Lieberman's Best...
East Haven
Derby
Ansonia
Beacon Falls
West Haven
Naugatuck
Orange
Waterbury
Thomaston
Wolcott

By my calculations, the average per-household income in

Lieberman towns was $71,008
Lamont towns was $90,994

>>> Lamont was elected by the elitists, not the blue-collar
