Profiling Galbraith

The Burlington Free Press has a must-read profile of Democrat Peter Galbraith, a former ambassador who is considering a run for governor.

“Peter Galbraith is also ‘thinking seriously’ about running for governor of Vermont. He's not saying yet whether he will, but he also says he is not merely a placeholder so the Democratic Party can claim it has a potential candidate.”

And a key nugget:

“Galbraith insisted Pollina's status won't affect his decision. He also said he's under no specific time frame. Other Democrats, though, are eager for him to make a decision.

“‘I've encouraged him to make a decision pronto,’ Shumlin said."
