(7,639 posts)someone. However, that governor has previously said he would uphold the Vermont tradition of appointing a member of the same party as the one they replace. So in this case, a democrat. Of course thats assuming he does not succumb to pressure from the gop to do otherwise... Hopefully Leahy will recover and we will not need to test this.
