- Source: 2008 Vermont gubernatorial election
The 2008 Vermont gubernatorial election took place on November 4. Incumbent Republican Governor Jim Douglas won re-election to a fourth term. The gubernatorial primary took place on September 9, 2008.
Despite Democrat Barack Obama concurrently winning the state in a landslide in the presidential election and carrying every county, Republican Governor Jim Douglas was able to win reelection in a landslide and carried every county in the state himself. Democrats actually came in third, about 200 votes behind Independent candidate Anthony Pollina. This is the last time that a gubernatorial nominee and a lieutenant gubernatorial nominee of the same political party were elected governor and lieutenant governor of Vermont.
