The Hartford Courant's Jenna Carlesso is with the Foley campaign at the Rocky Hill Marriott.

She filed this report:

Tom Foley arrived at a Greenwich polling location at 6:05 a.m. today to cast a vote for himself.

"I got up early, voted, and then went to several other voting locations throughout Greenwich and New Canaan," he said.

He arrived at the Marriott hotel in Rocky Hill about 3 p.m., where he is currently awaiting the results of the Republican primary race for governor with his wife, Leslie, and in-laws.

With less than a half-hour left until the polls close, Foley said he's confident he'll emerge from tonight's contest a winner.

"We have a very good feeling about the response coming in from our field organizations," he said. "It's been very positive. We've been hard at work for over a year, and I'm sure we'll see the results of that tonight."

Foley said he wasn't dismayed by the latest Quinnipiac poll results, which put his closest opponent, Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, within eight points of Foley's lead.

"We always knew it would be closer than it was months ago," he said. "I think we're doing good for a three-way race. We're very comfortable about where we are."

He said he is ready to hit the road for his general election campaign, which is set to begin Wednesday.

"We'll be working hard to make sure we win in November," Foley said.
