Why is this guy running? Why not run for Lt. Governor again? He needs more time to cook and he needs more experience in the Legislature before making a run like this. Don't know how you get the idea that running for Lt. Governor and losing in a banner year for Democrats qualifies you for running for Gov.

I'm voting for either Shumlin or Markowitz.

What about this additonal Snelling getting into Vermont politics. He wants a free ride to the top too. This entitlement thing is ruining Vermont politics. I'm a Snelling so therefore I am. Give me a break.

It seems to work in Massachusetts..."I'm a Kennedy so therefore I am" Lemmings following each other off the cliff just to vote for a "Kennedy"

"What about this additonal Snelling getting into Vermont politics. He wants a free ride to the top too. This entitlement thing is ruining Vermont politics. I'm a Snelling so therefore I am. Give me a break."

Did you say the same thing about Hillary Clinton? She carpet-bagged her way into the Senate from New York. She had never before held elective office and she went straight for a top job. Her only qualification at the time was that she was the ex-president's wife. Then she parlayed her undeserved Senate seat into an "entitlement" to the US presidency.

Didja complain about that entitlement? And that's not even to mention all the Kennedys and Cuomos, etc., etc. Or do you only complain when it's a Republican?
