They are also aided by the fact that so many remaining Vermonters fail to vote, for what reasons I am not sure, but suspect the long winters may be resulting in wholesale inbreeding, rendering many of them functional liberals.As for Jeffords, I never recall him as being much more than a milktoast follower of any party that might pay attention to him for more than a few minutes.

If Alabama or Georgia decided to implement one big single-district at-large voting system for state-wide offices, I can just picture the line of left-wing "Vermont" activists heading south in their Volvos ready to "play dead" and other idiotic protest games, like they do at Fort Benning every year!
