Is there any hope that the GOP can wrest this seat from the grip of socialist moon-bats?

It doesn't look too good. A new Research 2000 poll on the Vermont Senate race:

Sanders 62%, Tarrant 18%
Sanders 59%, Dubie 23%
Sanders 61%, Rainville 18%

Wowsers. If those numbers are correct (and they probably are), this one is a lost cause. The national party would be better off focusing on holding what we have and making a race of it in more winnable places. It'd be like Bush going to CA in 2004 and 2004, or sending Cheney out to HI. Looks like Sanders is a lock in VT any way you slice it.

Out of those three, I'd put my money on Tarrant giving it the best run of anyone. He has very little name identification right now, but is a very wealthy software company CEO. If he put in some of his own money, he could overcome the name recognition problem. But I don't know if he could do anything to get over 40% of the vote, unless a credible Democrat ran as well.
