Maine Governor's Race Remains Close, Cutler Losing Support
Public Policy Polling’s newest survey of the Maine Governor’s race continues to find a tight contest with Mike Michaud at 43% to 42% for Paul LePage. Eliot Cutler trails in a distant third at 11%. We attribute the closeness of the race to a continued split among progressive-leaning voters. Without Cutler’s presence in the race, his supporters would overwhelmingly choose Michaud over LePage; in a two way matchup between Michaud and LePage, Michaud’s lead would be 50/46.....
...Paul LePage is one of the most unpopular governors in the country, and most voters in Maine want to replace him. Given the closeness of the race right now, they will need to unify around one of the two candidates challenging LePage. This poll is further confirmation that Michaud is the only candidate with the support necessary to defeat LePage in November.
Did you get that?
Mike Michaud is the "only" candidate that can rid Maine of the stench of Paul Le Page.
You can help Mike do so. I just did, and you can too!
Mike needs to raise another $9,350 before midnight tonight. He needs all our help to keep LePage and Cutler sinking in the polls.
Of course, LePage does his best to help out with that.
Bill Nemitz: Fleeing energy forum for NASCAR promotion says much about LePage
The governor forgoes an energy discussion to launch a racing initiative that probably won’t help Maine one bit.
Yes, our idiot Governor ran away from a crucial discussion on energy. You know, little things like what the state can do to help keep people from freezing to death in the Winter. Instead, LePage headed to the race track to hang out with Miss Maine USA and Miss Teen Maine, kiss up to big business, and once again speak about how wonderful it would be if Maine was
just like Florida and Arkansas.
Yep, those are the exemplars he holds near and dear, never mind their poverty and infant mortality rates.
Seriously.
Telling, isn't it?
In his Sunday column for the Maine Sunday Telegram, the wonderful Bill Nimitz wrote a letter to Governor LePage about his preference for NASCAR over energy policy. Please read it. It will be well worth your while, both for Bill's brilliant writing, and to get a clearer perspective on what we in Maine are dealing with each day - a wholly ALEC owned Governor.
ALEC and the Republican Governor's Association are spending big in support of LePage.
We really need your help to keep Mike rising in the polls and elected Governor. You could make all the difference.

We're all going to feel even better when Mike wins and is sworn in as Governor. Oh, did I mention that he'd be the Nation's first openly Gay Governor? How cool will that be? :)
Mike is a good man. A deeply thoughtful, caring one. I will be so proud to see him sworn into office as Governor.
Maine's State Motto is "Dirigo" - Latin for "I lead." Lets help Maine lead the nation in kicking Tea Party/Republicans out of office.
That's worth five bucks or so any day. :)
