Thanks for making the 80th Annual Clambake such as success!
Here is coverage of the event from the Greenwich Time.
Greenwich Republicans love presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, but it remains to be seen who they will passionately embrace as their Senate candidate after five declared and undeclared candidates spoke at the annual Republican clambake at Greenwich Point Sunday.
The former Massachusetts governor, Romney captured 100 of the 177 votes cast in a presidential candidate straw poll at the event. His closest contender was Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who snagged 30 votes, or 17 percent of the total vote at the event, co-sponsored by the Republican Town Committee and the Cos Cob Republican Club and attended by about 250 people.
The clambake's first informal straw poll was just one attraction at the Republican pep rally, held on a sunny late summer afternoon. All eyes were focused on two GOP stars coveting the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
The showstoppers were Greenwich resident Linda McMahon, expected to announce a second shot at the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, and former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, who told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers last month that he will enter the race.
