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

Openers

House Speaker Gaye Symington started the opening statements, the order based on flip of the coin.

The rain came down harder than ever. It wasn't easy to hear.

Symington focused on her background of connecting people with their food, starting with the bakery she opened as a young college graduate.

Anthony Pollina focused on his grassroots background, creating Rural Vermont, running VPIRG, working with farmers.

Jim Douglas pointed to his efforts to work with the Localvore movement.

Yeah that's my feeling as well. That's why I'm interested to see if he cited anything of substance or if he just referred to it generally. Perhaps Terri could shed some light on this. I really wish this debate were being broadcast.

As opposed to this fact-filled flight of fancy.

In other words, you're still dumb, you're still scum and your ignorant anonymous ass has got bupkis.

Then again, you always are. There's no need to qualify it with an apparently. There never is.

Thanks for clearin' that up, little fella.

Always a pleasure.
Dismissed.
