It's 9:30 p.m. and David Cappiello just addressed the crowd at the Crowne Plaza in Cromwell. The former state senator is working for U.S. Senate hopeful Linda McMahon's campaign.
Cappiello says the campaign does not have final numbers yet, but says it has preliminary numbers from 23 percent of the state's voting presincts. McMahon's ahead with 45.6 percent of the vote, he said, adding that Rob Simmons has 32.6 percent of the vote and Peter Schiff has just 21.8 percent.
The crowd cheered for McMahon, but expressed dislike for Simmons and Schiff.
"We're not calling anything yet, but I wanted to tell you it's real good news," Cappiello said.
