I can't see any Republican VT puts up as Senate candidate being anyone dependable. (ala Jeffords) Seems like pretty much a lost cause, in other words, since any that would win would clearly be a RINO if not an outright traitor like Jeffords.

It's funny though that despite what gave the Dems such losses in 2002 and 04 (their increasing move to the left), their leader (Dean) still doesn't see any problem with continuing the same kind of shift.

The implosion of the donkeys continues! :)

Yes.... kind of like a ship out in a big storm in the ocean, and the ship has to much weight, and is listing to port, and Dean tells them to bank the ship even farther to port side, and the ship is about to capsize.

Then again this is Vermont, where "middle of the road" is defined as "somewhere between Ché Guevara and Josef Stalin."

Seems like pretty much a lost cause,

Pretty much, with the exception of voting committe heads, which does matter.
