The difficulty, of course, is determining in more systematic fashion how much of Romney’s “poor” Vermont showing is due to Democrats making mischief of the type you describe, and more fundamental dissatisfaction among Republicans with Mitt’s candidacy in general. My guess – based partly on Bert’s observations but also on how Mitt has performed in other states among some Republican voters – is that it was dissatisfied Republican voters that primarily accounts for Mitt not clearing the 50% hurdle in Vermont. But I can’t be certain.

It was painful to see an “R” written next to my name on the register (in pencil, thankfully), but we want these jokers to continue with their circular firing squad.
