VT has a 50 plus one rule; if the winner gets under 50%, the Legislature picks the next governor.

Even if Dubie beats Shumlin with under 50%, the heavily Democratic Legislature will pick Shumlin.

I can't imagine that the Democrats would pick the person who didn't receive the most votes. That would be horribly undemocratic and basically rob Shumlin of any political capital or legitimacy. He'd probably get voted out in two years.
