hi,
Vermont has a 200+ year history of sending intersting characters to Congress. It started with 'Spittin Jack' who was sent to jail for his behavior on the floor; and was re-elected while in jail. George let him out, setting a number of precedents with that action. Haven't paid much attention to Bernie, my basic feeling that a broader spread of viewpoints
is a good thing. Our political system acts too much like a ricer, turning
a wide variety of views, and approaches, into mush.
Emily's List is news to me; not particularly good news, from the sound of it.
