It used to be that Northeast Republicans had a reputation - they didn't like large government - they hated spending - they wanted a strong defense. They called them Rockefeller Republicans. I am making a prediction here that this wing of the party is making a comeback! Of course I am bias and hopefully this is a self fulfilling prophecy; however, I think I am on to something here.
What most of the media and the political establishment don't understand is that although the Democrats have made huge gains here and there are actually no Republican congressmen from the region, the margin of victory is very thin. Consider my distrinct - 5th in CT - only 30,000 votes separated the winner from the loser. About three years ago - this was a red district.
I went to a tea party today in New Haven, CT. The final numbers were 1500-2000. This is a very liberal area - Yale, etc. There were rallies in multiple other cities - Hartford, Norwich, Greenwich, etc. People were blowing their horns in support as they drove down I-95.
We are hopeful we can move the region back to its roots - DON'T TREAD ON ME!
Please spread the word and help in this effort.
