Watching Markos Moulitsas, of Daily Kos fame, on “Meet the Press” Sunday, I was reminded of the sentiment I find often in the diaries on Green Mountain Daily. There is this entrenched belief among the liberal netroots that they represent mainstream America.
That would be like me trying to claim that Ann Coulter represents mainstream [...]
A while back, Jeremy Ryan posted a comment asking me what I thought about Congressman Ron Paul, as a Republican presidential candidate. I never got around to posting about that.

One great thing about that is that it contradicts my pessimistic view that the right does not [...]

I have been meaning to post about this since Thursday, but I was sick (again!) this weekend and just didn’t get around to it. However, since I was quoted in this morning’s Free Press quite extensively, I figured I would write up a post.
As you other Burlington area political junkies already know, last [...]
I just read that Rob Roper is running for State Republican Party Chair. Roper is currently involved in the Vermont chapter of Freedom Works – the lower taxes, less government activist group formed by Dick Armey.
