much in the blue column and did not see much of

6), Biden (Kent on
Oct. 13), Romney (Greenwich on May 20) and Paul Ryan (West Hartford,
Darien and Greenwich on Sept. 30); Romney and wife Ann also made stops
before the April 24 primary. Additionally Libertarian VP nominee
Jim Gray appeared at the University of Connecticut on Sept. 20.
