WTF?!? I Just Don’t Get It!!?? Help! S.O.S.!

Help, I’m not having a happy day here and I just don’t get it.  I opened up GMD this morning to find that Shumlin’s 5+ point lead is gone in the most recent polls.  And CAs Prop 19 is now failing in the polls!?!?!  What happened in the last few days?

The thing I just don’t get for the life of me, is how Vermont which is seen as one of the most progressive and liberal states could possibly elect another Republican Governor.  This makes no sense?!  What is wrong with these people?  How can we have significant Democratic leads in US Congress, majorities in State houses, but when it comes time to elect a Governor, people want a Republican liar to lead our state?  I was hoping Shumlin was going to ride his 5 point lead or maybe even expand on it for the next two weeks and we’d finally have some sanity back in Montpelier.  I just don’t get it!  What is going on?  Someone help me out here!  I’ve lived in Vermont for 12 years now and I just don’t get it!

  1. We’re a smaller state and it’s an off year election so we’re tricky to predict in general.  

    Second, polls have a margin of error.  This poll is well within the same margin as the previous poll.

    Third, no one said this would be a cake walk.  Douglas was popular by successfully concealing his nastiness and willingness to screw people.  Dubie may seem like a buffoon but people who support his positions don’t care about that so this is an uphill climb.  

    Finally, Shumlin’s very good at this, and the primary made him better, but he can’t do it without our help.  

  2. The only way either candidate will win is by turning out more voters. So, the proven method of GOTV calling is important.

    In addition, right now persuasion calling is going on – to get the undecideds to move into the Shumlin column.
