Vermont Primaries

Retrieved from the comments at the other blog (where it had been troll-rated)

It's Primary Day today here in VT! DFV is supprting Matt Dunne for Lt. Governor. We endorsed him after 4 of our local Link-Ups endorsed him, in a pretty good bottom-up process we came up with...OK, bottom up to our level anyway. DFA hasn't endorsed him. *sigh*

We have a little problem here, in that many people are planning to pull an R ballot to vote against some Rs they don't like. I personally know about 1/2 dozen that voted early and did this, and I've talked about another 1/2 dozen out of doing it just here in Rutland. DFV sent an email out about it yesterday. It's very disturbing...

I have to work for another candidate today, so I can't do anything for Matt (except maybe go to his Victory Party ;-), so wish him well.

Vermonters:

Unless you're a Republican, pulling an R ballot is NOT a good idea!!!!! Skewing the poll results will REALLY hurt the candidates you support (for offices like US Senate, US House, and Governor) strategize as they move towards the November election. Let the Republicans choose their candidates. We will not stoop to their level.
