Recently, we’ve seen Deb Markowitz effectively position herself as defending Vermont’s good name from Brian Dubie. With both the Vermont Seal of Quality issue and the New York Times ad, Deb has shown how to turn Republican VT-is-anti-business rhetoric against itself.
In clip two she discussed the Douglas administration’s failure to uphold the meaning of the Vermont Seal of Quality and Dubie’s subsequent flip-flop. More than any charges of flip-flopping though, I think the narrative that resonates is that Brian Dubie is ideologically predisposed to dismiss the positives that make Vermont such a unique state of mind. His failure results in an attack on our quality of life that also fundamentally misunderstands our strengths in the larger marketplace.
And here in clip three, she shares her thoughts on Challenges for Change and the Star Trek/Star Wars question.
We shot in mid-April, but I think the Challenges for Change discussion is still timely. She has a great time explaining her astonishment over Douglas now discovering the notion of outcomes-based reform in his waning months of service.
And though she comes down clearly in the Star Trek camp, she does believe it to be the wrong question. For her, a more inclusive question, one that is not so reflective of the blogger geek guy demographic, is Harry Potter or Lord of the RIngs.
As I haven’t been much of a moviegoer this past decade, I can not knowledgeably speak to her suggestion. The suggestion does give me enough pause though to conduct a poll….
