" The media on the right " - FOX -  Just how many Major Networks are there ?

If I have to hear about the liberal media one more time I will throw up. 

You want proof?  I've lived in 4 big cities, and around 7 smaller to average cities.  NOT ONCE have I ever seen a right wing local newspaper.  Everywhere I look I see liberal local newspapers.  So who's getting misrepresented by media?  gg

you are so dumb lol

You guys should stop listening to people says candidates have no chance when Blumenthal leads McMahon by just 3 percentage points, erasing the 41-point lead he held in January.  Yep Linda McMahon came back from a 41-point deficit.  So often the media will write off candidates and they seem to know little to nothing what the electorate will do.

But we'll see what happens on Election day if she'll pull it off.

Also I'm surprised you guys who hate the Tea Party haven't mentioned the Tea Party coloring book for Kids yet?

I wonder who were behind the people upset with the coloring book.  The company also has an Obama coloring book, so I don't see what the big deal is.

This reminds me of the Obama Chia pet fiasco when people though it was somehow racist or something...

I get the impression that Connecticut is the anus of the Northeast.

Was it Connecticut or Vermont that had 13% of their electorate who wanted to succeed from the Union?

According to this old 2006-2007 ranking Connecticut is ranked 3rd behind Massachusetts and Vermont.  But yeah its definitely up there.

California is ranked 47 ... no surprise with all our illegals.  Poor Arizona is ranked 50th.

Vermont...  secede... 

Vermont is just a weird state overall, but they have the best education system in the whole country.

Why is Vermont Weird in your opinion ?

Vermont has a long history of being very different from the states around them.  They were even briefly their own country (sort of like Texas and California).  In some ways, it seems like Vermont has more of a Canadian mentality than an American one.  Take, for example, Bernie Sanders.

Only in Vermont would you be able to run under the socialist banner and actually win a Senate seat.  That being said, Sanders is kind of cool.

I would like to see the source on that one. 90% of the people live in one county - Chittenden. The others are very sparsely populated at best. I don't think you would find that applies to the state as a whole.

Well, Harmor's link above is one of many that seems to confirm this.  I've read multiple studies of America's education systems, and Vermont consistently ranks at or near the top.

Bernie Sanders only got in becuase pete smith F**cked over the N.R.A. to this day bernie must thank god he was standing there when smith stuck his head in a noose. Once there in you cant get them out. sanders didnt get in " becuase he was socialist " He was tha last man standing. The End. what you read about VT. school system applies to the 90 % who live in chittenden Country. The rest are f**ked trust me. Vt. Bring your own money or GTFO in a big hurry.

Well, I've never lived in Vermont, but it seems pretty obvious that they are much more liberal than most of the rest of the country.  It doesn't seem like a stretch to assume he won as a socialist outright, because he was in the House for a while before that.

what house ? Vermonts state senate ? When Jeffords and Leahy come back to Vermont they barely get out alive. 99% of the time - You cant ditch an incumbant. THEY ARE HATED ! trust me.

Sanders won the House seat from Pete Smith.  He was Vermont's sole Representative from 1991 to 2007.  He then went on to win the Senate seat with 65% of the vote.  I don't know about you, Hunter, but that's a pretty high percentage to win by.  Richard Tarrant got only 32%.

So no...  I'm pretty sure Vermont likes Sanders.  I suppose it is possible that they instead just hate the GOP candidates that much though.

Sanders is a Senator now, Who left Leahy or Jeffords ? You cant out spend some one on the Government payroll. When I said " got in " I meant to the Congress. whats been happening up there since 1995 I have no idea. did you happen to be privy to the Abanaki Indian revolt in 88/89 ? I saw the UH1H they shot down. The pilot told me " It was just like Vietnam " Which was what he said on the Flight recorder. " We're takin hits ? It's  just like Vietnam ! What the "

Jeffords left shortly after switching from being a Republican to being independent.

Leahy is the secondmost senior Senator and has held his current seat since 1975.

I'm not familiar with the Abanaki Indian revolt.

Witch candidate is that?
