The first time I ever voted was in 1994. That was the year I turned 18.
It was an off-year election and there wasn’t anything memorable going on with the Vermont ballot, for me at least.
What was memorable about that day was the triumphant victory of the Republican Party, which claimed control of the Senate and [...]

I am taking a break from politics today. With all of these pre-primary posts, I thought it was time for some levity.
Okay, so is anyone else watching Rockstar: Supernova?
This is the final week. Who do you think is going to win?
Come on, I cannot be the only one watching this. Usually these kind of shows [...]
Tomorrow is Primary Day here in Vermont. If you haven’t ever voted in a primary, or even if you have, here is a little primer on the process.

In other self-congratulatory She’s Right news, I received an e-mail today from a [...]

From this morning’s Rutland Herald:
“I don’t need the Republicans or their money to get elected.”
Good to know. I guess we won’t vote for you then. Good luck winning the primary with that strategy, Mr. Independent.

Rich Tarrant’s new Bernie ad is up, here. It is of a single mom who is upset that Bernie voted against extending the Child Tax Credit, which was set to expire and revert back to $700/child (from the $1000/child it was raised to as part of the Bush tax cuts).
It also mentions that Bernie voted [...]
What better way to spend a sunny Labor Day than at Oakledge Park with Republican US House candidate Mark Shepard?
Shepard showed up in his campaign RV, with his 9 year-old son, to greet a dozen or so supporters. It was a nice, intimate gathering where people could just hang out, meet Mark, and talk issues. [...]
Have you heard about the latest scheme cooked up by the Vermont left? They are attempting to make sure that no one runs against Bernie Sanders in the November election.

Thanks to a little help from the gun nuts over at Alphecca, the comments thread of my Second Amendment post from Wednesday is heating up. It’s like a primer on gun rights, right here on She’s Right. (That was a lot of rights.)
I just thought I would bring it up, in case anyone wants to [...]
