Opinion of Eliot Cutler

[H. Ross Peron]

Words cannot express my disgust towards Cutler

LePage is only just below 50%, so he would've won with or without Cutler in the race.

Seriously. LePage is at over 48% from the current vote count and still would have won a good chunk of Cutler's supporters had he formally dropped out. Pinning the blame solely on Cutler when LePage gradually improved on his own standing is quite misguided.

If anything Michaud "should" have dropped out in favor of Cutler, a la Alaska and Kansas.

Paul LePage owes him a steak dinner for ensuring both of his victories in Gubernatorial races. Damn shame. Maine deserves so much better.

Cutler had his chance in 2010 and he blew it. It's true that in a two-way match-up with Michaud vs. LePage or Cutler vs. LePage, LePage would be done for, but the difference this year is the Democrat this year, Mike Michaud, is a moderate, very popular, had to give up his House seat to run for this Gov. seat, and is much better than the 2010 Democrat.

Huge HP. There's no way Cutler seriously thought he could win this race. If he just looked at the polls, he could see Michaud had the clear advantage over him to defeat LePage. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if LePage paid Cutler off to stay in this race, or if Cutler was just completely arrogant. This is one state where I wouldn't blame the voters, but rather one man, Eliot Cutler himself.

Michaud was the perfect fit for Maine and would have been awesome to have this nation's first openly gay governor, but Cutler just gave this poor, poor state another 4 years of an insane Tea Partier who's about to give it to the people.

Apparently we don't think we do.

And I love how you changed your avatar just because of Hogan, haha!

He seems like a pretty smart guy who might have been a good governor.

But I don't get why he would stay in the race when he clearly isn't going to win, and when his presence is clearly going to help Paul LePage.

LePage would have still won in a two-way race IMO. Silly to blame Cutler.

If you only look at the margin on election day, yes. But you also have to take into account that throughout the entire campaign Michaud was getting hammered by both LePage and Cutler. Cutler consistently talked about how they were both the same, therefore cementing in his supporters' minds for there to be no meaningful preference for Michaud like there was at the start of the race. Had Cutler never entered at all, LePage wouldn't have been Blanched/Corbetted, but he probably still would've lost.

Doesn't matter. We can still blame him for 2010.

Come on, that's like blaming TR for Taft losing in 1912.

There's just no way Fillmore could have lost without Frémont!

If anything, the Dem joke candidate in 2010 was the spoiler
