A hero retires

Awwww. Sad tidings from the Vermont Press Bureau:

We told you last week about a former Douglas staffer considering a run for statewide office. Kevin Dorn now tells us he’s opted against a candidacy of any kind this year.

Dorn had been bruited as a potential Republican challenger to Bernie Sanders. To which we responded with our usual tasteful sarcasm. Hope we didn’t deter Mr. Dorn.

Well, we greeted the news of his possible candidacy with a pheromonal blast of Bonnie Tyler. We mourn his departure with the downbeat echoes of the Flaming Lips:

Tell everyone waiting for Superman

That they should hold on as best they can

He hasn’t dropped them, forgot them, or anything

It’s just too heavy for Superman to lift

  1. Maybe Dorn has concluded that his chances of being a player again is to hang onto Brock’s coat tails.  At least Brock has a chance of beating Shumlin; whereas Dorn had absolutely no chance of beating Sanders. With Brock in the Governor’s chair, Dorn has one of the big state jobs.
