Let’s answer basic questions before the 2028 race

When Republican Phil Scott won the Nov. 3 gubernatorial election, it came with the lament that Democrats would return to the Legislature in January with a veto-proof majority. That took a bit of the polish off Mr. Scott’s victory, with the expectation that we would see a return of a do-nothing Legislature.If that happens, both sides misread what Vermonters want, which is to get things done. Voters have no real love of either party, as all polls show. What they want is for life to be more affordable.Which leads to the past gubernatorial election and how the Democrats will comport themselves between now and the 2028 election. The question on everyone’s lips is whether Democrat/Progressive Amanda Janoo will re-up her desire to be governor.She’s earned it. She came from nowhere to within about seven points of unseating Mr. Scott. She’s smart. She’s articulate. And she’s kind. She left the playground with no ill feelings on either side. No small feat.
