Vermont Democrats And Their Need To Rise Up

It's frustrating to be a Democrat in Vermont on a local level. The past 3 gubernatorial campaigns have been so bland that it was hard to get up and vote for the primaries and increasingly harder to show up in November. The Vermont Democratic Party is a strong unit with a great history. But it is no longer the party of Phil Hoff, in which bravery was the trademark. The Dems in Vermont have mired themselves in such politeness toward the issues that it's hard to get fired up about the true problems in the state. Vermont clearly is an Obama state...they just need to understand the “urgency of now”.....
