I am up to my ears sick and tired of hearing about media bias. Any time a conservative candidate for office shoots himself in the foot (and let’s not mince words here folks, that is exactly the kind of amateur mistakes that have been happening in the last week or so with certain candidates for [...]

Last month, Rasmussen broke the ice on polling for the 2010 gubernatorial race and reported that Paul LePage had a 43% to 37% to 7% advantage over Libby Mitchell and Eliot Cutler, respectively. Today, Rasmussen released another poll which reconfirmed LePage’s early lead in the race: Paul LePage – 39% Libby Mitchell – 31% Eliot [...]

Last week I reported on something the mainstream press didn’t bother with: that Democratic Senator Elizabeth Schneider was strongly leaning toward endorsing Eliot Cutler, making her the second high profile Senate Democrat to abandon the Democratic President of the Maine Senate, Libby Mitchell. Well, guess who was right (again)? Today, Cutler’s team released an endorsement [...]

Yesterday, Eliot Cutler‘s own release made it clear. In the words of Ted O’Meara: “The Republican attack line since the Primary has been that Eliot is ‘just a Democrat masquerading as independent.’” This is the biggest perception Cutler is now, has been, and will be running against as he works to win this election.

In response to a recent flap over the Chairman of the RNC appearing to oppose our presence in Afghanistan (something that was later clarified by the RNC), the Democratic National Committee released a statement, hammering the Chairman over what it perceived as his opposition to the President’s plan in that conflict.

Today, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree took to Facebook to announce her opposition to any “war funding” in the supplemental budget: I plan on opposing war funding in the supplemental budget. The war in Afghanistan has gone on too long, has cost us far too much in lives lost and dollars spent, and is not making America [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, take a journey with me into the Hot Tub Time Machine and step back to 1996. Or 1998. Some time in the late 1990s – it doesn’t really matter. You see, that is the era that the Maine legislature‘s website seemingly belongs in. Worse (dramatically so) is the Maine House‘s site. Even [...]
