91. Cupcake???
Says more about you, and Vermont, than it does about me.

Arkansas has rural farming families too. Except up until just a few years ago, many of them lived in shacks with woods floors and outdoor plumbing. I know, my brother-in-laws white family was one of them. Poverty is entrenched in the south, Clinton helped to change alot of that.

Unlike some people in Vermont:

"But John Irving, for one, is not waiting around to find out. He's starting up his own private school--and stealing the principal away from the private academy where state senator Shumlin sends his kids. "My response is as brutally upper class as I can make it," says Irving. "I'm not putting my child in an underfunded public school system." If he can't get his new school up and running, says Irving, "I'm moving out of here." And he's avoiding the local press "because I don't want to make my child a target of trailer-park envy." Irving, by the way, is a liberal Democrat. But in Vermont, it seems, the whole world is being turned upside down."

Trailer-park envy?????

Keep Vermont. This is the EXACT kind of Democrat that's been running working people out of the Democratic party for years.
