I wish we had all the resources in the world to spread there.

Good luck, guys! He got 3rd in VT in 2008, anyone know the percentage? I'm sure we'll do much better this time around.

so we need at least 20% for delegates.

I love Vermont, my husband and I spend many of our anniversaries in the Warren/Sugarbush area. We were married in October so it's the perfect time to go and see the foliage.

Ron will take second or third in VT like most states on Tuesday except GA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_Republican_primary,_2008

Candidates:
1. John McCain 28,417 71.32%
2. Mike Huckabee 5,698 14.30%
3. Ron Paul 2,635 6.61%

Already dropped out:
Mitt Romney* 1,809 4.45%
Rudy Giuliani* 931 2.24%

So it appears as though Romney has some diehard supporters in VT. They knew Romney wasn't in the race but liked him more than any of the actual candidates so they decided to vote for someone that wasn't even running.

I'm headed up to Stowe, VT tomorrow afternoon for some skiing until Friday. Hopefully I meet some other supporters while I'm there.

I can't see how it won't be a top 2 finish there with the necessary 20%.

I was in Burlington late last year and thought Vermont would be one of our stronger states. beating Mittens won't be easy, but if they organize good, it could happen!
