Rutland Herald Online - Clavelle move could shake up Democrats, Progressives

I like Peter and I think he's a man who can bring true leadership to politics, but I think he's created a mess for himself. While it may be true that he can beat Jim Douglas in a two way race for governor, he has certainly alienated leaders of both the Progs and the Dems, though they are at pains not to come across too harshly in the media. In private they must be seething.

But this is Peter's style: get the idea out there and let people decide if they support it/him. I think he has a tough row to hoe to pull this off and garner support from both parties.

Mr Racine must not be happy with this turn of events and Mr. Shumlin must be absolutely apoplectic!!

Great politics...only in Vermont!
