As you canb tell from my screen name, Mr Republican is one of my political heroes.
The Taft political dynasty is actually longer than that of the Kennedys, having begun in Vermont in the eighteenth century. However, it may finally be coming to a close--on a sour note.
Coolidge also got his start in Vermont.
Funny how such a once great republican state is now the hippy-commune of New England.
Another forgotten Republican was William McKinley. Strong conservative Republican.
