I love Vermont--look at their exit poll responses
Exit polls show that Vermont voters are worried about the economy, and many think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. Yet Vermonters approve of President Barack Obama’s job performance and like his health-care-overhaul legislation, according to preliminary results from Associated Press exit polls released shortly after precincts across the state closed at 7 p.m.


Nearly nine out of 10 voters say they worry about the direction the economy will take in the next year. And voters who think the country is on the wrong track or that government is doing too much slightly outnumbered those who think the nation is headed in the right direction or that government should do more.


But sending a bit of a mixed message, six in 10 also approve of Obama’s job performance, and more than half want to either expand his health care law or leave it alone.

1. Because Vermont rocks. And it is a great place to vacation in
when you only live a few states away. :) I live in CT but it is not that far and ice cream is the best there.

2. Vermont
is an awesome place. In many areas, it is the Democratic Party v the Progressive Party. And even the Republicans are more sensible there. I loved my time visiting and living there.

15. Vermont is awesome.
A beautiful state with beautiful people. Any state that elects Howard Dean is a-okay in my book. :)
