Connecticut | Yalies for Bush? Who'd a thunk it!

I was surprised to see this in the Nov. 1 edition of the Yale Daily news this morning. I was convinced that New Haven was so blue it bled, well, blue. I was also fairly certain that the university had issued a memo disavowing Ol’ Dubya, but then I remembered he’s a Bonesman too. :)

The Yale College Republicans and Yale Students for Bush rally in front of Payne Whitney Gymnasium as part of a final effort to garner support for President George W. Bush’s re-election.

Interesting.

Anyway, I’m not sure how much election activity in Connecticut will be relevant to the Command Post readership at large. We have very few hotly contested races this year in the land of Martha. Be that as it may, I will do my best to dig up something worth reading. Who knows, maybe one of our mayors will pull a gun on some hapless voter for not voting straight (D), or one of the entrenched Senators will get caught soliciting a minor before the polls close. We do have some crazy stories ‘round here.

My father is a Yale alumni (class of 60-something), and I’m pretty sure he’s for Bush.
