If this is the wrong board for this I apologize. I'm bringing this up out of an initial interest of the Wyoming gubernatorial race of 2002. A Democrat gaining a seat in blood red Wyoming was worth reading about! Somehow I ended up in 62' reading about Vermont. In this day it is amazing to think this was how people used to talk about Vermont politics. Democrats were the minority party, and now Vermont is one of the bluest (or reddest, in the case of Atlas) states in the country.
I hope ya'll enjoy this. Nothing special, but I found it a really engaging read. This is a PDF, just to note.
