Calling himself the “underdog,” Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan formally launched his campaign to unseat 15-year incumbent Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell at the St. John’s Club in Burlington on Thursday. Donovan and Sorrell — each from different clans with deep roots in Queen City politics — will square off this August in a Democratic primary that has become the race to watch this election year.
Here’s video of Donovan’s stump speech before a capacity crowd at the St. John’s Club. Part 2 is after the jump.

This is what comes of living in a one party state: “Dem and Demerer”
From today’s Free Press article reporting that the State Democratic Party has endorsed Donovan for AG and Doug Hoffer for Auditor:
“Party Chairman Jake Perkinson said the endorsements are like seals of approval. They tag a candidate as a bona fide Democrat, not some infiltrator who doesn’t really have Democratic Party values.”
Oh, really? Then why did the Party endorse Hoffer, who is a PROG? Hoffer has always been an outspoken Prog who hates the private sector, is in love with government, thinks the government should get bigger and own everything, and always wants more and higher taxes.
That’s my idea of a PROG, not a Dem.
