Title: Vermont and Bush Derangement Syndrome

Kurt Daims, 54, of Brattleboro, the organizer of the petition drive, said Friday the debate to get the issue on the ballot was a good one. Opposition to the vote focused on whether the town had any power to endorse the matter.
. . .
He said he gathered nearly 500 signatures in about three weeks, and he said most people he encountered were eager to sign it. He started the petition drive about three months ago.
"Everybody I talked to wanted Bush to go," he said, noting that even members of the local police department supported the drive.
"This is exactly what the charter envisioned as a citizen initiative," Daims said. "People want to express themselves and they want to say how they feel."
It's, you know, an advisory type of thing. Kind of a "sense of the senate" resolution, but instead it's a "sense of Brattleboro" resolution. Besides, you shouldn't worry about this, because: quote:
So far, Vermont is the only state Bush hasn't visited since he became president in 2001.
Surely now the's not gonna show up in 2008, either.
