Political notes from Free Press staff writers Terri Hallenbeck, Sam Hemingway and Nancy Remsen

9:40 p.m., A classic Sanders' speech

More from Bernie, a vintage speech, resonant of 30 years of his political speeches:

"The people of Vermont have said they are sick and tired of right-wing extremism and President Bush and Vp Cheney this state is going to move America in a very different direction.

"the time is long overdue for the U.S. senate represent the working familes of Aemrican and not just the rich and the powerful.... to end the national disgrace of childhood poverty while giving hundreds of millions of dollars of tax breaks to people who don't need it. the time is long overdue for the United States to join the rest of the industrial world and provide health care to every man, woman and child as a right of citizenship.

"This small state knows what the war in Iraq is about becuase we have lost more soldiers than any other state in America. The people are making it increasingly clear, we want the troops to come home."

-- Candace Page

This is a victory for the little guy. The future is wide open......
 
A victory for Vermont, let's hope the rest of the Nation follows our lead!
 
The nation followed Vermont into WWI, that only led to WWII.
 
SOUR GRAPES ANYONE ???
 
Or perhaps a violin?
 
Or a prediction?
 
Or playing devils advocate to get everyone stirred up as only a woodchuck could?
 
We've lost more soldiers than other state in America? Really?
 
yeah at least on a per-capita basis
 
Oh, so Bernie wasn't being 100 percent truthful. I see.
 
Actually he did say "per capita". His speech was not quoted word for word.
 
Isn't it interesting that Bernie left his devisive right-wingers-are-evil-sky-is-falling talk behind during the campaign. Now he can pull it out again since he is elected.
 
he left alot of things out!
 
His attempt to inspire fear would not have played as favorably before Sept. 12. He could play the bridge builder.
