Partisan history?[edit]

I'd like to know what the breakdown by political party has been in the Vermont House and Senate, for say the last 50 years. Is this on Wikipedia anywhere? I can't find it. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.232.71 (talk) 20:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Progressives need bluish color?[edit]

I would think that "Progressives" far from caucusing with the Republicans, probably need a deeper shade of blue, rather than deep red. That would tend to show political sympathies a bit more vividly, as it were. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 13:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Traditional political colors, which are used all over the world, have Right-of-Center parties (such as the GOP) using Blue, Left Leaning Parties that support large Government (Like modern Democrats & Progressives) using Red, and Parties that support personal Liberty but limited Government (such as Libertarials) using Yellow. That's why Communists were called "Reds" and why Conservative Democrats are called "Blue Dogs", not "Red Dogs" and why people who don't want to go to war are called "Yellow" (since Libertarians are usually against non-defensive war). This was the case in America from it's founding until the early 1990s when the media began to switch it. Bill Clinton was the 1st Democrat President represented by Blue instead of Red. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raszoo (talk • contribs) 13:06, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Independent Caucus[edit]

On this page, the independents are shown as caucusing with the majority. However, the Vermont General Assembly page shows the independents as caucusing with the minority ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_General_Assembly). One of these is incorrect.
