WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH VERMONT? Alas, I have no time at the moment to weigh in on the Dems-and-libertarians debate, but one aside in Tom's post really caught my eye and I did just want to throw out a question to him or to folks in comments -- Bush's share of the Vermont vote went up by 10 percent between 2000 and 2004!? What's the deal with that? How/why did that happen?
UPDATE: That was fast! Tom called to say he screwed up when looking at the spreadsheet and Bush's number in Vermont in fact declined (rather than increased) by 10.3 percent between 2000 and 2004. That answers that. (And, obviously, makes more sense.)
