the prophecy continues to fall in place
Quote from: N U T TL
Vermont Gubernatorial Election: PROGRESSIVE GAIN
15% Reporting
Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman: 55.74%
Governor Phil Scott: 42.96%
Other: 1.30%

Another interesting result, and a surprisingly early call, we can clearly project that David Zuckerman will be elected Governor of Vermont. He did not accept the Democratic Party's nomination, and is the first non-independent 3rd Party governor elected since Jesse Ventura was elected Governor of Minnesota in 1998.

Lean R. I think it ends up like a reverse LA GOV 2019, where Scott survives (though by a much smaller margin than 2018) because of his popularity.

Seems to be a good man, but I'm rooting for Governor Phil Scott and would vote for him. He leads the state with pragmatism, is moderate and scandal-free. No need to replace him.

As Atlas's resident Phil Scott fanatic, I 100% endorse Phil.

Zuckerman is the only candidate however, who doesn't make this Safe R.

With him it is Lean R. But Phil will win.

Let's not forget he beat a Democrat with national attention in a blue wave year in Vermont by double digits, and by a bigger margin then against a local Dem in 2016.

King. Phil.

If you are as engrossed in Vermont politics as I am, there are legitimate policy reasons to support Phil.

Found your reason to replace him. I don't care how moderate the Republican is, a progressive Democrat will always be better. Period.

Idiocy. Period. (A lot of "progressive Democrats" are as fanatical, intolerant and dumb to the core as their right-wing opponents. The ONLY difference - they are left-wing idiots, not right-wing)

Are you really implying centrists/moderates are smarter than ideologies? Because the centrists I think of that come to mind in both parties (Van Drew, Manchin, Collins, Coons) come across as far dumber than ideologues like Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Adam Schiff, Warren, and DeSantis, just to name a few

On topic though, this will probably be a good race. Phil Scott’s victory was kind of unimpressive in 2018 when you consider he ran against a complete rando.

We have different criteria of what's being dumb and intolerant. I will easily take Manchin and Coons over both Cruz and Warren, for example. And - yes, i consider them to be more smart.

Well, JBE was vulnerable too and still - won. The people of Louisiana were smart. I hope, that people of Vermont and New Hampshire will be smart too.

A rando who got national media coverage and was in a blue wave year

This take is flying out of the oven


Phil won’t lose

I've been going back and forth on this, Sununu, Justice are much more valuable targets that compassionate conservative Phil Scott, anyways

Then we agree to disagree. I prefer moderate Republicans like Phil Scott or Charlie Baker over staunch left-wing Democrats or Justice Democrats. I also prefer them over socially conservative Democrats. If Phil Scott was running against John Bel Edwards, I'd support Scott.

Scott has not yet announced his intention to run, though everyone expects that he will.

At least Zuckerman makes it a contest worth watching. Holcombe is an empty suit.


Agreed, Zuckerman will certainly put Phil on his toes. But it's the only guy who really has a shot, well, what's your thoughts on AG Donovan?
