Heh – kind of reminds of the old saying “With friends like these….” Care to finish the saying? From the Burlington Free Press:
A Marlboro man concerned that a three-way race for governor assures the re-election of the incumbent has launched a write-in campaign to make Anthony Pollina the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor.
Kevin Kennedy suggests that by changing the candidate lineup, Vermonters wouldn’t have to choose between Democrat Gaye Symington and Pollina, a Progressive Party member who decided two weeks ago to run for governor as an independent.
Kennedy is using a Web site to promote his write-in plan — writeinpollina.com. He launched the site and the campaign a week ago with an e-mail to about 75 friends, he said. He also notified Pollina of his effort, but didn’t get a response.
“It isn’t helping our effort,” complained Meg Brook, Pollina’s campaign manager. She said the Pollina campaign would have no further comment.
