This is just a state house seat with low turnout but this may be a canary in the coal mine. I've noticed the Gomez race in MA tightening up. They are bringing Clinton and Biden to help Markley something you would thing they wouldn't have to do.

The trick to changing a stat’s national politics is to change the statehouse and the school boards.

How RINOish did Samuel Belsito have to be to beat the dem? Did he have to "out liberal" him?
Remember when candidates had to at least appear conservative to win? How things have changed.

In a glorious victory, Tolland's Sam Belsito, 2nd Amendment defender, gun owner and traditional conservative blew away his opponent in a 58-42 percent landslide. Nearly 60 volunteers helped Belsito in Tolland, Willington and Ashford. A combination of local Republicans, Tea Party patriots and the newly energized gun enthusiasts fought as a coalition of allies with one goal in focus - VICTORY.
Let this be a lesson for the CT GOP. They have been trying to market the "new Coca Cola". That's John McKinney's crowd of gun-grabbing RINOs who falsely believe that behaving like Democrats wins elections. The American people already rejected the new Coke.
Sam Belsito is the traditional Coca Cola, the standard established by Ronald Reagan. Awaken Republicans! If conservatives like Mr. Belsito can win in a strong Democrat district, they can win almost everywhere in the state. Only twenty-three (23) more seats won and Republicans control the House. It is within reach.

He said he would have voted against the recent gun control legislation.Ths is a HUGE issue in CT now (duh), and will likely result in anti-gun RINOS like McKinney & Bolinsky to lose a lot of support and possibly their seats to actual conservatives (or maybe to a Dem).

The 53rd is where a lot of the UCONN faculty and similar hangers on live. This is not inconsequential and I’m hoping Belsito, my new rep, was aided somewhat by the myriad scandals. If so, it bodes well for 2014
