Also worth checking out is an article by Tamala Edwards on the Vermont
Senate race, in which an honest-to-goodness 79-year old dairy farmer is
running against incumbent Dem Patrick Leahy. You'll remember Leahy is the
architect of the Digital Telephony wiretapping law, but was also a vocal
opponent of the CDA.
