The web site is a fact and it speaks for itself," Dubie said in an interview Monday. "The election will soon be upon us. But it's still over a year away, but as an incumbent lieutenant governor it's not something that I'm making an announcement (about) anytime today."

HORRAY!!!!
I had just about given up on a Dubie candidacy. He's the only candidate (other than Gov. Jim Douglas, who won't run) with any real chance of defeating the openly Socialist Bernie Sanders.
I hope he wins...
can you imagine the jokes if he gets defeated badly?
The Dubie got smoked....
sorry I am having one of those days today :)
Thanks for the ping. I've never worked for a campaign before but I might get out and do some stuff for this one.
That *is* great news. If a respectable Democrat runs (maybe former Lt. Gov. Racine, who has hinted that he will run), Dubie can win merely by getting around 40%. Dubie got over 50% in 2004, so it's certainly within reach.
I would kinda have rather him run for the House seat, I think it's more winnable.
In the end, I don't think the former Lt. Governor will run on the Dems side, and Sanders will smash him.
Hope I'm wrong though.
I don't know Dubie's whole record, but I know he's pro-gun, and I think he's pro-life. But he's probably to the left of most Republicans on environmental and labor/workplace safety issues.
