Ridgefield High School Mock Election Results. Even John Bailey Would Have Doubts.
Legendary 20th century Connecticut and national Democratic chairman John M. Bailey had an almost mystically belief in high school mock election results as accurate predictors of the the final outcome. He might have changed it after seeing this year’s Ridgefield High School results.
Clinton 132/Trump 150
Blumenthal 150/Carter 132
Himes 159/Shaban 132
Among the many curiosities of these results, you may be certain that if Jim Himes outruns Sergeant Blumenthal in any town in the 4th CD there will be tensions in the upper ranks of the state’s Democratic organization. Himes will become an object of unrelenting suspicion, which will be a story worth watching as a re-elected Blumenthal, 70, becomes the oldest man (Connecticut has only elected men) to represent the state in the U.S. Senate.
