I really don't think there's much to worry about. LePage didn't even get 40% in a wave year and if he keeps on making stupid gaffs, his support will decrease as Michaud's increases from getting the 2010 LePage moderate vote while his name recognition and popularity inncreases from ME-1. Besides, he's a much stronger candidate than freaking Libby Mitchell was.
In my opinion, after LePage made the "47%" comment, it was over for him there and has a small chance at survival.
Novel theory. But Lepage doesn't get or need moderate votes.
