Although a solidly Democratic state (Barack Obama won it by over 67% of the vote) Republican [[Jim Douglas]] was elected governor in 2002 and reelected in 2004, 2006, and 2008. Douglas has announced he will not run for another term, and Republicans are hoping for Lieutenant Governor [[Brian Dubie]] to enter the race. Randy Brock, an African-American conservative who served as State Auditor and in the Vermont Senate, may also run. Democrat candidates include Doug Racine, Lieutenant Governor under [[Howard Dean]], as well as Vermont Secretary of State Deborah Markowitz.
