Vermont’s colorful cast of gubernatorial candidates garnered attention from national media outlets and the late night talk shows this week.
The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart poked fun at Republican Scott Milne, who forgot momentarily that he was not born in Vermont. Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon suggested debate moderator Stewart Ledbetter would make a better governor than the seven people on stage. (Ledbetter’s late father, Stewart Sr., narrowly lost to Sen. Patrick Leahy in 1980).
The clips are all taken from the Oct. 9 Vermont PBS gubernatorial debate.
In case you missed it:
The Daily Show: Milne’s “Moment of Zen.”
Tonight Show: Ledbetter for governor (6:07).
Business Insider: “Very, very special.”
Washington Post: “Beard-filled gubernatorial debate.”
Time Magazine: “America needs more crazy debates.”
Buzzfeed: “Head’s up, Peter.”
MSNBC: Chris Hayes gawks.
