I don’t do predictions.  Somehow it just puts me into a negative space.  For the same reason, I voted last Monday in order to get that emotional up from voting early!

I was at the polls today campaigning with Peter Shumlin when Senator Bernie Sanders and his wife Burlington College President Jane Sanders arrived to vote in Burlington’s Ward 4.  

Bernie told Peter that he is looking forward to working with him on single payer health care for all Vermonters.  One of the things I love about Bernie is that he never stops working for all Vermonters, which I guess is why he has such a following.  As he admonished everyone yesterday at the Biden/Shumlin Rally, get out and vote, and get your neighbors out to vote.  Every vote counts, he told the crowd as he reminded everyone that he was first elected Mayor of Burlington by only 10 votes!

I’ve also been looking at signs everywhere I’ve gone, and Steve Norman, inventor of the Geometric Roadster, has my favorite that I see every day on my way home.

More below the fold.

Geometric Roadster?  Here’s a look at Steve’s invention.  With Peter’s election, I hope Vermont will once again work to develop its own manufacturing and encourage the work of entrepreneurial inventors like Burlington’s Steve Norman.  Single payer health care could go a long way to take the health care burden off of small businesses and inventors like Norman.

Here are two more shots from this morning’s campaign trail.  

 I am running for re-election as JP, and of course Peter Shumlin and Jim Condos, both of whom make campaigning fun.

And of course we could not campaign without the intrepid Hobbes, who has only missed one blogger picnic back in 2008 when he was recovering in from major surgery.  He loves the political scene.

Joanna Cole is also in this photo, and she is a candidate for State Representative.
