  • Cool - that was my post on devoter! Seems a bit ridiculous, but kind of interesting that it's by someone not completely kooky. Vermont IS kind of an anomaly in the US - I mean, it has a socialist representative in Congress.

  • no no no - just the first thing I ever had posted on here!

  • That article doesn't mention money, but I get the impression that one of the important criteria for the position is bringing in lots of it. Dean's unprecedented success with online campaign fundraising and overall lead going into the primary (among other Dem. candidates, not against W) probably recommends him for the job.
