What Planet?
Here is what we now know of Vermont gubernatorial candidate Peter Shumlin’s platform.

He wants to shut down Vermont Yankee putting 600+ people out of work and causing energy prices for Vermonters to skyrocket.

He wants a full government takeover of health care.

In the current political climate, even Vermont may have a tough time with this.
