Nine Republicans and eight Democrats will appear on the ballot in Connecticut when primary voters go to the polls on February 5.
That’s the largest number since Connecticut began holding statewide presidential primaries in 1980, says Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz.
February 5 is being dubbed Super-Duper Tuesday, when Connecticut will join more than 20 other states holding either their 2008 presidential primaries or caucuses.
The list of Republicans includes Rudolph Giuliani, Michael Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Alan Keyes, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson. The Democrats include Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson.
