At long last, the Sabina Haskill curse has been lifted.
 

Does this mean Gaye can have her picture taken sitting on the park bench with the nudies?
 

finally an editorial with some intelligence and guts. gaye's mediocre speaking skills (which i find refreshing compared to jim's self-serving smooth talk) are a legitimate concern but should not outweigh everything else she brings to the table.

shes the kind of smart, issue-focused, genuine, nonpartisan politician we all say we want. she has the courage to take on the thorniest issues and take political risks to get things done. she is willing to be honest about our problems. we have never seen and will never see that from jim.

douglas is a failure and a nasty partisan to boot. it's disgusting that he will not take responsibility for anything. i think he's so skilled at spin, he's lulled vermonters into a stupor. we don't know anymore what real leadership looks like, or real economic growth, or real statesmanship.

anthony is a total disappointment. just look at what he's done this year: flip-flopped on campaign finance to suit his short-term needs and to cover for his utter incompetence at running his campaign; distanced himself from the milk company when things started tanking; abandoned his party even though he said he could never do that (the reason he gave for not running in a democratic primary). this is douglas like spin and blame shifting that is the last thing we need. the idea that he will bring the parties together in montpelier is LUDICROUS. he has trashed both parties for years and they hate his guts. his ideas are totally unrealistic and he offers no way to pay for them. he'd be a disaster from day one.

for me, the fact that gaye has real ideas, thinks long term, walks the walk of nonpartisanship, has courage, knows how to get things done in montpelier, and matches up perfectly with obama makes her a clear choice.

plus she is the only one who has the resources and ground operation to get close to jim or beat him. i think this scandal about jim using taxpayer money to fund his campaign is really gonna hurt him.

we have a golden opportunity to send this guy packing. please use your heads and vote for gaye.
 

Oh yeah - the rest of Vermont is going to wake up and vote for Symington, because --- get this --- the Brattleboro Reformer has endorsed her. WOW! What an accomplishment!

That's like Jim Douglas getting an endorsement from the Caledonia Record.

I'm sure that the vast majority of Vermonters really care what a bunch of Trustafarians on Welfare in Brattleboro think.
 

Gaye has speaking skills?
 

The reformer didn't actually specify here accomplishments nor has anyone here.

She could have retired from public life quietly. INstead she'll end up as the coming in third as the Democratic candidate. Nice.
 

Douglas has no accomplishments.
 

"anthony is a total disappointment. just look at what he's done this year: flip-flopped on campaign finance to suit his short-term needs and to cover for his utter incompetence at running his campaign; distanced himself from the milk company when things started tanking"

How do you feel about Obama flipping on campaign financing to meet his short term needs?

Any thoughts on B.O distancing him from his buddies Ayers, Rev. Wright, Resko and Khalidi when things got hot?

It seems Pollina has taken a lesson from the Obama playbook.

No more! That's not a mental image I need to have.

Now excuse me while I go scratch my eyes out.
 

Yeah, Symington for nude peoples rights!
 

I highly doubt that Gaye will come in third. Anyone who believes that doesn't know there ass from their elbow. It will just be a repeat of 2002 Gov race. Guaranteed.

And...Douglas was endorsed by the Reformer in '06.

Which pissed off a lot of people in town.
 

Who did the Reformer endorse for the other statewide races?
 

They endorsed JWCOOP10 as Village Idiot.
