Single payor, huh? How about single doctor? That would be better and cheaper. Imagine how much we’d save if we just had to pay one doctor. And single medication! Yeah, wow we’d save even more. Just give out aspirin tablets for every ailment. Headache, take 1. Jock itch? Dissolve 1 in a tablespoon of water and rub. Metastatic brain cancer? Dig a ditch, sit down next to it and take 200. See, problem solved. Cheap, effective healthcare for all. Vote for me and invest in bayer. That’s a win win!

Shumlin blinked!

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — An unexpectedly strong challenge to Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin means the gubernatorial race will be decided by the state Legislature in January.

At the close of election night, Shumlin had about 46.7 percent of the vote while his Republican challenger Scott Milne has just over 45 percent.

Shumlin had been expected to cruise to re-election for his third-two-year term, but Milne apparently played on voter discontent with the governor. The race stayed close for most of the night.

Under the Vermont Constitution, candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and treasurer are required to win a minimum of 50 percent plus one to be elected directly. If not, the race is decided by the Legislature.

In the history of Vermont, 23 previous elections for governor have gone to the Legislature, which nearly always gives the election to the candidate who won the most votes. There have been three exceptions, the last one in 1853.

Shumlin was chosen by the Legislature for his first two-year-term in 2010. That year Shumlin won 49.5 percent of the vote while his Republican opponent had 47.7 percent. The most recent time the race involving an incumbent governor was decided by the Legislature was in 1986.

Experts say Shumlin’s sub-50 percent showing could reduce momentum behind his signature agenda item, a universal health care system covering all Vermonters.

Which reminds me, whatever happened to the $850Billion that sailed through the Democrat House and Senate in Feb.2009 because Obumbles lied about all those “shovel-ready” infrastructure jobs ready to turn the stinking economy around? Somebody has all that taxpayer money hidden away, because those jobs never happened.

If he knew what would transpire, Ethan Allen might as well omitted VT from the original fourteen states.
