     Well he leads Dubie by 8%, other people by much larger margins. When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought that those were rather poor numbers. Even these are not that great for a Democrat in Vermont.

I'm not sure if Dubie would want to run again, but it's good to see that there is at least a slight chance the race could be competitive. I'm surprised at how low Shumlin's approvals are considering Vermont is supposed to be such a progressive state.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

Shumlin comes across as kind of a dick (mainly because Shumlin is kind of a dick). Vermonters for the most part like his actual policies.

I can't see this race becoming very competitive.
