Vermont Republicans for Obama, and other snippets...

Spotted in the statehouse: Republican Senator and political dynastic heir Diane Snelling (R-Chittenden) sporting an Obama button.

Shumlin waxes Churchillian on education funding: While commenting that the current, recently tweaked school funding scheme should be given more time to work before resorting to another wholesale overhaul, Shumlin commented to reporters that Act 60 and Act 68 amounted to "the worst system for funding school budgets in the country - except for all the others." Heh.

Why I'm giving Al Franken money for his US Senate campaign in Minnesota: Because he sent me the best fundraising letter I ever read. My favorite part was the salutation - no mail merged "Dear John", but rather "Dear Person I'm Asking For Money,"

Freaking priceless!
