He'd be a dangus to challenge Angus.

Maine might not have ranked choice voting by 2018. It might be repealed.

Running against King would be a fool's errand for him.

King is relatively popular.

And LePage is utterly hated in Maine, maybe one step above Christie levels.

Exactly, so how does a divisive governor with middling approval ratings beat him in a Trump midterm?

Safe D if LePage runs. King easily wins.

Will Dems field a serious candidate against King? I thought it might be a possibility since he voted for tillerson

LePage is very divisive and would only beat King if A. A far-left Democrat siphoned votes and B. RCV were overturned (has it already been or is it ok? Can't remember where the ME Supreme Court ended up on that).

I think Democrats will not throw this race and by election night it'll be Safe D (or I, w.e.)

Question could having LePage on the ticket effect the house races?

It could help Poliquin's chances in the second, yes.

Given how well Lepage usually does in the 2nd District I'd say it could help Poliquin.

Eh, I read the DCCC is trying to recruit Troy Jackson.  If he runs, Poliquin could easily be screwed regardless of what LePage does although I'm skeptical that LaPage would have meaningful coattails since A) I don't think he'll actually run and B) he'll lose in a landslide if he does.

It was overturned and might be repealed. How can I get a ranked choice voting state constitutional amendment passed?

Democrats would be idiots to field a candidate.

King is popular, and for good reason.
