Obama draws moderate Conn. voters to claim victory

Hartford (AP) – Political moderates have joined Barack Obama’s strong base of Democratic support to help the Illinois senator capture Connecticut.

Associated Press exit polls found Obama’s established appeal among liberals was supplemented by those moderate voters. He even drew support from about one of every four Connecticut voters who describe themselves conservative.

Republican John McCain, who counts Connecticut independent Sen. Joe Lieberman among his most staunch supporters, found strength among white men and white Catholic voters in Connecticut.

Connecticut hasn’t voted Republican in a presidential election since the first President Bush’s election in 1988 over Massachusetts Democrat Michael Dukakis.

Just wait, you may be happy now, but wait till those taxes start rising. Mark my words, this clown will be the worst president since Jimmy (pea nut man) Carter. There will be more entittlement programs and Socialism will run supreme.

Hope Canada has room for me. Biggest dissapointment I've had in many years, and God help the younger generation. They are in for a VERY rude awakening in years to come.
