Who said that? GOP Governors have always been competitive there.
Yeah, VT has a soft spot for moderate Republicans.
Basically the whole Northeast does, unfortunately. A majority of Northeastern governors are Republican.
And that's - excellent. When these Republican governors are like Baker or Scott and not LePage. They represent reasonable check on "tax and spend" (and very frequently - very corrupt) Democratic legislatures. I hate one-party rule, and was both for Scott nd Baker. But in the South i am almost always for Democrats..
Arkansan Democrats are pretty corrupt and usually pretty left wing for the state.
