Danbury Primary Results


Danbury Republicans followed what the rest of the state did. They overwhemingly picked John McCain. Here are the GOP results in our city:

  1. McCain: 1,084 (49%)
  2. Romney: 787 (36%)
  3. Huckabee: 144 (7%)

On the Democratic side, Danbury was one of the bright spots for Hillary Clinton. She won our city narrowly, despite Barack Obama winning our state. Here are their results:

  1. Clinton: 2,373 (51%)
  2. Obama: 2,125 (46%)

Connecticut Democrats made our state the only northeastern one to not go in favor of Clinton. McCain has all but locked up the nomination. It will be interesting to see how our city goes in November. They were very nice to President Bush in 2004, and McCain is much more moderate than him. This means that McCain may not only have a decent shot at winning Danbury, but also Connecticut. We will just have to wait and see.
