re: #10 Hecuba’s daughter

Angus King caucuses with the Dems and there are no objections to him. We don’t want a situation where Vermont elects a Republican because Bernie and a Dem split the votes. This is a maneuver that can be explored only if the Dems ever again have a veto-proof majority in the Senate, and even then it’s likely to come back to bite us.

No offense, but we want the situation that Bernie himself claims to promote: the ability for the voters to vote for someone whose beliefs/ideals match their own, rather than being forced to hold their nose and vote. If Bernie can’t win in a three-way race, if the vote will be so split between him and a Dem candidate that the Repub will win, then it’s obvious that he is not winning because the people of VT want him, but because they have no other choice.
