<title>Burlington mayor&apos;s race: a primer</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19413/20120302/burlington-mayor-apos-s-race-a-primer</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 2, 2012) “Politics” are different in Vermont’s largest city. Since 1985, a successful third party, the Progressive party, has dominated local government there. Progressive voters essentially sent Sen. Bernie Sanders to Congress after re-electing him mayor of Burlington for successive terms.  But for the first time in almost 30 years, there&apos;s no Progressive running for mayor this year. Paul Heintz covers politics for 7 Days, an alternative weekly newspaper based in Burlington. He says this race isn’t so much about issues as personalities and shifting loyalties. And he says that even though there’s no Progressive on the ballot, those votes will still make a difference.He told Sarah Harris there&apos;s a history of bad blood between Progressives and Democrats, and this race is a bit of a turf battle.
