Bernie Looks Solid in Vermont
Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders, a self avowed "Democratic Socialist," appears to be set in his bid to replace Vertmont Senator Jim Jeffords in 2006. A Research 2000 poll conducted for WCAX-TV in Burlington shows Sanders, with 66% favorables, crushing all possible GOP challengers.
Representative Bernie Sanders 62Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats in the House, is even garnering the support of Vermont's most powerful politician. Evan Lehmann of the Bennington Banner has the story:
Businessman Richard Tarrant 18
Representative Bernie Sanders 59
Liutenant Gov. Brian Dubie 23
Representative Bernie Sanders 61
VT Nat. Guard Maj. Gen. Martha Rainville 18
Breaking party lines, former Gov. Howard Dean said Monday he supports Rep. Bernard Sanders' bid for the U.S. Senate, saying the Independent makes a "strong candidate."The stars just might be lining up for a Socialist Senator. Eugene Debs would be proud.
"A victory for Bernie Sanders is a win for Democrats," Dean said in a telephone interview Monday.
