Dubie (r) is VT. Lt. Governor, former AF pilot and former Airline pilot
Parke is a former AF pilot and now flies charters 
Tarrant is the founder of IDX Corp, a former St. Michaels basketball giant and a guy with brains and bucks. 
If Gov. Jim Douglas, who would not criticize Jefford's deceit, runs for the Senate he is going to have to take a lot of heat from folks who still harbor a lot of anger over Jeffords.
Howard Dean :-(
Who the heck is Parke? The other two I've at least heard of
Hope all's well with you and yours. I'm back in VT right now to close on my house
In other words, the perfect Senator for today's Republican Party.
How about we try some real small-government people for a change - somebody with no memory of JFK, much less FDR. Somebody willing to kick some government-parasite ass.
Or was that limited to the '94 version of Republican promises?
Judging be the discretion and acumen shown by VT in selecting Jeffords, I would have nominated
These Three Guys
Two Republicans who were man enough to serve their country in uniform...that is shocking!
REALLY?
Don't know where you are from or how long you have lived in Vermont, but all three of your choices, are "conservative," and if you think for one minute, ANY Conservative is going to be elected to National Office, I fear you are are way too optimistic.
Are you aware that Vermont is the ONLY state in which Bush did worse in 04 than he did in 2000?
Oh yes, we have a Repub Governor, but he's just another RINO!
As an aside, don't be surprised if Jumpin Jim runs for Gov. next time around.
Don't know how old you are, but I'm a Vietnam Vet and grew up in and around Burlington during the 50's.
Then, Vermont was fairly conservative and Republican.
Then, along came Bernie and his band of "progressives" (read: socialist) and it was all down hill from there.
As for me, I've had it. As circumstances are such that I no longer "have" to stay here, I am leaving. Read my tag line and I really feel for you and the other 9 conservatives who live in Vermont; only 8 after I leave. LOL
Leonard Jeffords.
They seem like good guys, but do you really think there's any chance that a majority of VT voters will consider any Republican while we have a 55-seat majority?
I was under the impression that Vermont was pretty much a lost cause liberal toilet, like New Jersey, Massachusetts, and California? Are you saying a non-scumbag can win there?
