Musical chairs Vermont style

Good news!!!!! Jim Jeffords isn't going to seek re-election in 2006. Yipee! Good bye, Jeff. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

What this does, in essence, is create an opportunity for a four seat game of political musical chairs. Gov. Douglas (R) might be interested in running for the seat. So might Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie (R), who when asked if he'd be interested in running gave the polite equivalent of "You bet your ass" as his answer.

The downside is that Bernie Sanders, Socialist, can feature himself in the Senate. Not good. He has not been an asset to Vermont, though the farmers think so.

In truth, the prospect of this shift makes me consider signing up to help with the campaign.

  1. Jeffords - turncoat. Of course we can add to that list Chafee, Snowe, McCain, and many more...

    Not all farmers... Careful of the width of that tar brush.
