It is believable that the Demo vote was much smaller in 2006 because Gov Rell was phenomenally popular. Her opponent then, John Destefano, had very high negative ratings. So it is surprising that the GOP vote would drop this year but the dynamics are there to support that.
Notice since Tuesday, any election that’s a tie, the GOP loses.
We NEVER win any of the close calls, which is statistically ridiculous.
