Vermont Gov. Shumlin, former Gov. Kunin to stump for Clinton

MONTPELIER, VT. >> Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and former Gov. Madeleine Kunin are going to be campaigning for Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.

The Thursday visit by Shumlin and Kunin comes less than a week before the Feb. 9 New Hampshire primary.

Clinton's chief rival for the Democratic vote in New Hampshire is Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.

At Shumlin's Request, NRA Releases Gov's Endorsement Questionnaire
by Paul Heintz

A newly-released questionnaire filled out by Gov. Peter Shumlin last fall as he sought the National Rifle Association's endorsement shows how little room there is between the gun lobby's positions and his own.
In the 25-question endorsement survey filled out during his 2012 reelection campaign, Shumlin appeared to side with the NRA in all but one case: he disagreed that the mourning dove should be classified as a game bird — "not on principle," he wrote in the margins, "but because Vermont does not have a viable hunting population of doves, and they are primarily found in backyards and roadsides."

***

Shumlin's answers help explain why he earned a 92 percent rating from the NRA last fall and a $2500 campaign donation. (Shumlin may have lost points for the 'mourning dove' question and for leaving two others blank.)

I'm thinking that a GOVERNOR of VERMONT would be in a very good position to be familiar with Bernie Sanders' career. And they both choose HILLARY! That's saying something very positive right there! Glad to have their support!

GO HILLARY!!
