All eyes were focused on Vermont and its daring senator who stuck to his principles.

U.S. Senator Jim Jeffords’s opposition to the policies of the George W. Bush administration forced him to defect from the Republican party in 2001 to become an Independent and caucus with the Democrats. This caused a historic shift in power in the U.S. Senate. All eyes were then focused on the state of Vermont and its daring senator who stuck to his principles.
