VT-AL: GOP Voters Nominate Dem?

[ccharles000]

Remember how Republican Martha Rainville actually made this a fairly close race in 2006? Those days are now just a foggy memory for the Vermont GOP:

Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., calls himself a proud Democrat, but says he'll accept the Republican congressional nomination.
Welch says he was surprised to receive enough write-in votes on Republican ballots to secure the nomination of a party that didn't put up a candidate of its own.

Kossack Kagro X via email: "He should demand the opportunity to debate himself."
