Here's what they had to say in the post:

Leahy has come out and thrown his support behind Sanders, who has served as Vermont's lone Representative in the House of Representatives since 1990.

However, this individual (who of course spoke to us on condition of autonomy and who made it clear that she values her job) said that a number of people affiliated with Senator Leahy, including many folks within his 2004 re-election campaign are not thrilled with Sanders joining the most exclusive club in the world.

We're talking about the United States Senate, folks!

Why?

According to this young woman, Leahy's staff does not want to share the lime-light.

"You have to understand the staff and the Senator's position: Since the 1980s, the Senator has had the luxury of being Vermont's Senator. Jim Jeffords was always the quiet follower, much like Winston Prouty was with George Aiken. If Bernie is elected, he will be incredibly aggressive and alienate a whole lot of Senators and their staff's with his mumbo-gumbo. Even more so, Bernie will want to be at the top and I don't think that the Senator and his staff want to share it..."

Interesting.

Again, take it with a grain of salt. However as a Vermonter, I've been wondering why Senator Leahy has been mum ever since Sanders announced his run for Jim Jeffords seat. I can also say there are a few Dems in Vermont and in Washington that are not to thrilled about having a former Socialist in the U.S. Senate. Leahy comes across as one of those people.

The word around Vermont is that the Vermont Republicans are poised to do well this November in state races as well as for U.S. House & Senate races. The state Dems. gas tax proposal (if it succeeds) could hurt their chances to maintain control over the House & Senate, Lt. General Martha Rainville has come across as this "nice lady" moderate Republican, and Bernie's really going to need Leahy's support if he's going to squeak by GOP Senate candidate Rich Tarrant, who seems to be coming across as another nice guy who's socially moderate (and pro-choice)and fiscally conservative. Mark my words it will be close!
