Milne isn’t weak. He nearly won the Governorship 2 years ago.
Leahy will swat him like a fly but he’s a much better candidate than Leahy’s last 3 (the old farmer who ran in 1998 and beat the intended GOP nominee was actually a Leahy SUPPORTER!). I applaud him for running and deferring in the Gov and LT Gov races.
Milne came close only because of the epic unpopularity and incompetence of the outgoing Governor. Otherwise, he’s weak against the entrenched Leaky Leahy.
