Is Jim Douglas now vulnerable?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Why does Vermont have governor's elections every 2 years? Isn't most states every 4 years?

It's a remnant of a bygone era; a lot of states used to have two-year terms but it fell out of favor in the mid-20th century. New Hampshire and Vermont are just the last holdouts on this, kind of like Virginia is the last Southern state to limit a governor to one term.

Rhode Island had two-year terms until 1992 and Arkansas until 1984.
