Many people think Anthony Pollina won the debates and would make a wonderful governor. Our Vermont Constitution provides protection against an extremist like Ruth Dwyer, because if no candidate draws a majority of the votes, the election goes to the legislature, which will then select the governor by secret ballot. Therefore, there is no way Ruth Dwyer can win, since a majority of pro-choice legislators would vote against her. Choosing between the lesser of two evils breeds cynicism and apathy, but having the chance to vote for a candidate who actually supports the freedom to marry is tremendously exciting. Vermonters who like Anthony Pollina have a constitutional obligation to not vote out of fear, and choose the candidate they think will make the best governor.
