Okay, I must be crazy because it's TOO DAMN COLD to be live blogging tonight.
I just came from Danbury High and Pembroke School where the Democratic primary for the 1st and 2nd wards took place. The turnout at the high school seemed to be larger than at Pembroke but since I was at each location for only 30 minutes, I have no idea how the turnoutwas for the entire day.
Although it was cold, I was able to conduct interviews with some of the candidates as well as interview people who voted. When I'm finish converting the audio clips, I'll post everything online and offer my views on the primary and where the Democrats go from here.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
