Joining a number of other prominent supporters who change their allegiance from Eliot Cutler to Rep. Mike Michaud (D), Sen. Angus King has endorsed Michaud for Governor of Maine.
King, who was governor of Maine for eight years, had endorsed fellow independent Cutler this summer.
All this follows an impromptu press conference held by Cutler this morning, at which he reiterated his desire that supporters vote for the candidate they think will win. Cutler and Michaud are trying to wrest control of the Blaine House, Maine's governor's mansion, form Tea Party Republican Paul LePage.
While I think endorsements normally have little influence on voters, that King and other prominent Mainers have changed allegiances will have some impact on fence sitters here.
