Over at Daily Kos they are claiming to be covering all the races, big and small, yet I’ve seen nary a word about one of the biggest Democratic triumphs of the night. It therefore falls to this humble blogger to report the startling news, that here in the Town of Groton, home of the City of Groton, the Borough of Groton Long Point, and more political subdivisions than you can find in New York City, the Democrats have swept the table.
We are the majority on the Town Council, for the first time in 30 years. That means, from what I overheard, that one of our candidates (that would be Joe Delacruz), was not yet in his swaddling clothes the last time our fair city had a Democratic mayor.
Groton’s New Democratic Majority
From Left to right, Incumbent Rita Schmidt, Bob Frink, Rich Moravsik, Joe Delacruz, and Gen Cerf
The council consists of nine members. We only ran five candidates; the Republicans ran seven. All of our candidates won, so it turned out to be a good strategy.
We also preserved and extended our RTM majority and we have a majority on the Board of Ed. So, while you may have gotten results of those minor races in Virginia, New York and Boston at low rent sites like the Daily Kos, remember that news of this stunning Democratic victory was here at CTBlue exclusively.
UPDATE: I am reliably informed that not a single Groton Democrat lost yesterday. That may be something of a Groton record for any party.
