Connecticut says no to Obamacare … yes to Blumenthal

By Jim Vicevich / March 17, 2010 /

Not surprising. Either one. But at least it tells me a little of that “ye ole yankee spirit” lives in this deep blue state. But I’m still not sure how you can rate Obama so poorly on healthcare and the economy and send another professional Democrat back to Washington.

Hold on here a second. Will someone in the media please take a look at the polling methodology between the Quinnipiac and Rasmussen polls concerning the US Senate race in Connecticut? Why are the results so different?
