COLCHESTER, Vt. -

In the Vermont Public Television studios Thursday, all the candidates for governor got a chance to debate.

They included Dave Eagle, Liberty Union Party, Cris Erickson, United States Marijuana Party, Emily Peyton, Independent, Randy Brock, Republican Party, and Peter Shumlin, Democratic Party.

The race has been dominated by Brock and Shumlin.  That's because polls show Shumlin far ahead, even of Brock.

"I think this is a crucial time for Vermont. Time for Vermont to move off the direction we're going," says Brock.

Despite his lead in the polls, Shumlin has raised a ton of money to keep his job, now topping more than $1-million.

"I hope you stick with what Vermonters have done historically and give this governor a chance to complete the work that we've begun," says Shumlin.

There are still four more Vermont gubernatorial debates to go, though don't expect to see all the candidates at them.
