Write-ins give Welch Republican nomination | burlingtonfreepress.com | The Burlington Free Press

MONTPELIER — Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., calls himself a proud Democrat, but says he’ll accept the Republican congressional nomination.

Welch says he was surprised to receive enough write-in votes on Republican ballots to secure the nomination of a party that didn’t put up a candidate of its own.

So will the citizens of Vermont elect Welch as a Democrat or a Republican?

I don't think it matters who elects him, it is dependent upon which party he has joined.

If anybody wants to start a career in politics, it seems that all you need to do is move there and be a republican; instant career.

You can move to Vermont and call yourself Republican, but if you have any shred of a conservative thought in you, you have no chance. VT is the most left-of-center state in the US.

The cops are awesome, though:

Oh you mean Shenanigans?
