Voting day....

And voters seems to being out in force.

The not-so-nice weather isn't a factor in today's voting, not here in Connecticut where it's rainy although warmer than usual, nor across the midwest were snow storms and really cold temperatures are hovering.

It's expected today's turnout in Connecticut will surpass the 42 percent showing in the 2006 U.S. Senate Democratic primary. That shouldn't be too surprising given that we have both Democratic and Republican contests being waged -- at least it's a bit more of a contest on the Democratic side.

But it is nice to see the crowds at the polling places.

Tomorrow, I'm off to Hartford for the opening of the legislative session. I'll likely spend a good part of the day there.
