Good.

[Verily]

Maine is the only state where you could have two serious independent candidates who would both make decent Governors. Although it makes no sense that they haven't combined into a single ticket.

[Lief 🗽]

Oh wow. I hope this is for real.

Well, aside from the fact that Maine has no Lt. Governor...

Did they abolish the position recently? I seem to remember Lt. Gov. candidates in 2006. Maybe I'm hallucinating.

[Eraserhead]

I wouldn't put a lot of stock into Critical Insights or whatever.

LePage dropped this beauty today though.

Is LePage kind of a dumb?

So what's wrong with that? If only every governor would tell Obama and the federal regime to go to hell.

He's running in Maine.

[SvenssonRS]

I'm of the same opinion as AJC, for once. This is probably a crap poll.

Nope. The next in line after the Governor is the State Senate President (yes, Libby Mitchell).

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

25% undecided? No, sorry.

It's not Idaho, but Maine isn't exactly Obama country either at this point. The most recent poll showed him with 47% approval there, with 43% strongly disapproving. Just winning those voters could be enough in a 3-way race like this.

Plus Ross Perot's best state has long had a bit of an anti-establishment streak.
