Note: Apologies for my absence the last couple of days. Real life intervened, as it is wont to do. More stuff on the gubernatorial debates coming shortly.  

Apparently, the Mahatma has yet to emerge from his mountaintop retreat, where he’s been seeking political clarity in silent meditation. At the first gubernatorial debate on Saturday, Scott Milne’s 25% of the four-way colloquy was full of promises that actual positions would be coming soon. “Stay tuned,” he implored listeners, again and again.

But here’s something even more egregious. This morning, VTDigger taoiseach Anne Galloway was on WDEV’s Mark Johnson Show to talk about the campaign and Saturday’s debate. And she revealed that VTDigger’s editorial staff was scheduled to meet with Milne this week — but he’d asked for a postponement until he can get his policy positions in order.

Whaaa? 

Hey, Mahatma. I realize that Time Is Nothingness to you and other Sages Of The East, but c’mon now. It’s September 15th, and you’re not ready yet?

Shameful. And fatally damaging to his already wafer-thin hopes of being competitive in this race. I bet Dan Feliciano holds at least a couple of news conferences this week, and I bet he once again steals the spotlight from the unprepared Republican candidate for Governor.
