I would love to see Vermonters get smart and go Republican this November. I knowthe Northeast Kingdom is usually Republican and so is some of the towns like Dover, Wilminton, and Killingly.
At last check, there hasn’t been a single speculative GOP candidate to go against Shumlin. The only opponents declared so far are from two drug legalization parties, the “Udder” Party and the “US Marijuana Party” (!)
The VT Lt Governor, Phil Scott, is Republican, but whether he’d run, I don’t know.
Sorry, Wilmington is not Republican our rat state rep is from Wilmington. While the ratio may be 50/50 the rats are the ones who turn out to vote.
