Who won and lost the week in Vermont news and politics? Troopers, supers, guns, glass, reporters, editors, publishers, politicians, the dearly betrothed and... deer.Here's the Scoreboard for the week of Friday, Oct. 11:Winners:Vermont's congressional delegation — Still no polls in Vermont (come on, Castleton!), but national surveys suggest that Sen. Patrick Leahy's, Sen. Bernie Sanders' and Congressman Peter Welch's no-compromise stance on the government shutdown/debt ceiling impasse remains popular in these parts. Runner-up winner: VPR's "Vermont Edition," which schlepped down to D.C. this week to broadcast a rare, three-way interview with Vermont's tres amigos.Jim Deeghan — So much for two years in the slammer!
