    I got it!!

    What’s my prize??

    I know because i read also read the article that was online just in the past day or two, i believe it was called “A Vermont Love Story”, and i think i recognize the photo from that.

    His name on the page? Why yes, up in the upper right corner, where our reps are always listed; he is one of our Congressional reps in Washington.
    No, he is not Peter Welch.

    Therefore, he must be …

    Right??

    Furthermore

    I’ve emailed him re: his voting as a superdelegate for Hillary. Since my vote means nothing to him, he won’t miss it next election.

      That’s a good idea. I didn’t know he was doing that, but it doesn’t surprise me.

        Leahy disregards the will of Vermont, he made a promise!

        “You know, the Leahys have been in Vermont since the 1800s,” Leahy said when asked about the possibility of changing his support. “One of the touchstones of our family – I learned it from my grandparents, I learned it from my parents, and I’ve tried to teach my children – is you keep your word. Long before Sen. Sanders ever said he was going to run, I urged then-Secretary Clinton to run and told her I’d support her. I think anybody who knows me, anybody who knows my years as state’s attorney or my years in the Senate, know that I’d never break my word. And certainly Sen. Sanders would never ask me to break my word, nor has he. If Sen. Sanders is the nominee, I’ll happily campaign all over the country for him. We’ve worked together, he’s a good friend of mine, our wives are friends, and … I’m proud of a lot of the issues he’s raised. But first and foremost I always keep my word. Nobody, especially Sen. Sanders, would ever ask me to break my word.”

        “To be clear, you wouldn’t change your superdelegate vote unless-” started Seven Days reporter Paul Heintz, but Leahy cut him off.

        “My answer is what I said,” Leahy said.

        Asked if he would vote against his constituents if a majority of Vermont Democrats support Sanders, Leahy said:

        “No, I’m voting my conscience, and I’m voting my commitments, and I made sure everybody knows what my conscience and what my commitments say,” he said, adding that his vote as a superdelegate may be a moot point. “By the time we get to the convention, I have a feeling we’re going to know which one is going to have the majority, and whoever is nominated in the convention – either of them – I would be happy to go and campaign for them.”

          Keep It Up

          This, I think, is one of the many reasons Sanders is doing so well. People are sick of these kind of anti-democratic deals. I am.

          “I’ll support Sanders after I use my vote for Clinton, if he then wins” doesn’t impress. I’m sure the Sanders campaign got some donations today just because of this.

          Easy solution. Just support the person who wins the popular vote here, whomever that may be. Use your vote for Vermont, not just your friends.

            Peter Welch for Bernie

            Perhaps shrewdly, Rep. Welch threw in for Bernie today. Thanks, Peter. You’ll get my vote next time.
