By way of Shumlin for Governor campaign contact Kate O’Connor (formerly of the Dean administration, the Dean for President campaign, and the Tarrant for Senate campaign) comes this announcement:
Senator Peter Shumlin will hold a press conference on Monday, November 16 to discuss his campaign for Governor.
When: Monday, November 16 – 11:00am
Where: Earth Turbines
94 Harvest Lane, Williston

…and I hope this campaign goes the way the Tarrant one did…
The “I left everything in the trunk of my car, costing the Dean Campaign significant votes at a critical time” Kate O’Connor?
The “Oh yeah, did I mention I’m gonna go get paid to be a republican ‘cuz I hate Bernie Sanders, so I want to help run the most inept political campaign in VT history” Kate O’Connor?
Oy. Not an auspicious beginning for Shumlin….
