It's possible, but very, very unlikely.

Had to vote yes.  Sanders will win by less than twenty, but still by double digits.  Tarrant just seems like he makes this race competitive b/c he is a self-financer and offers a true alternative to Sanders.  It's not like so races in the country that have two people that are very similar, these two could not be more opposite.  Tarrant could make this one interesting, just as Christy Whitman was down 47 to Bradley at this point 1990 and made it a 3 race, a 44 point turnaround.  Tarrant is unknown and will benefit from the primary victory.

Don't think he'd win, and everyone is so over critical of what I said about VT, I was exaggerating when I said it was more vulnerbale than AZ.  I think Tarrant can make it more competitive, something 14 or 15.  I do not think  he will win.  If it were 1994, very possible that he wins and its definetly single-digits.  The VT congressional race is another story.  Rainville could certainly beat Peter Welch, not likely, but definetly possible.

The problem with that hyperbole is that there is no way to tell that it is hyperbole, as asinine predictions are made all of the time. Tongue

downwithdaleft: as my radically conservative buddy, you're letting me down here!  Why do you think there won't be at least 20 pts.Huh?  Where's the basis for that now?  Just curious, how old are you?  You seem young--like 15-16 ish.

15 as I posted before, and I belive Tarrant closes the gap to about 14-15 b/c he pours so much money into the race.  The race is held today Sanders wins by 25 or 30.

People in VT love Sanders (and rightly so).

He should get at least 60% of the vote.

That's a lot to close, but hey, weirder things have happened.
