Title: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: WalterMitty on March 21, 2012, 05:45:33 PM close, but i vote no.
there still may be enough yankee republicans alive in essex county who (mistakenly) believe mitt romney is a yankee republican. Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: Stranger in a strange land on March 21, 2012, 05:54:23 PM Against Santorum, he might break 80. Against Romney, no: he'll probably break 65, but not 70.
Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: tpfkaw on March 21, 2012, 05:56:00 PM No. In fact I'll even wager to say that '08 was probably the high-water mark for Democratic presidential candidates in Vermont for a while.

Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: argentarius on March 21, 2012, 06:20:31 PM Can anyone tell me why VT was solid republican until Clinton?
Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: Queen Mum Inks.LWC on March 21, 2012, 06:20:42 PM No; if it didn't happen in 2008, it won't happen this year.
Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: Negusa Nagast 🚀 on March 21, 2012, 06:26:38 PM Can anyone tell me why VT was solid republican until Clinton? It wasn't really solid Republican. From 1976 to 2000 it swung more Democratic with every election. Clinton was just the guy who pushed it into the Democratic column. Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: Eraserhead on March 21, 2012, 06:31:36 PM Probably not against Romney. Now, if Santorum or Gingrich somehow magically got the nomination, sure he would.

Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: Reginald on March 22, 2012, 04:15:17 AM He'll probably get a bit less than he did in 2008; 65 percent sounds about right.
I do wonder if Obama will get Essex again. Someone more knowledgeable on Vermont can correct me if I'm wrong, but Romney probably has a fairly good shot there, no?

Title: Re: does obama break 70% in vermont Post by: ag on March 22, 2012, 01:59:19 PM Can anyone tell me why VT was solid republican until Clinton? For the same reason it is now solid Dem. Republicans became the Southern party, and the Vermont Yanks don't like that.
