We’ve had a couple rather interesting poll results lately – results that bring up a lot more questions than they answer. After Paul LePage lead the race for Maine governor for the entirety of the summer by anywhere from 8 to 18 points, we have seen two successive polls show the race tightening. But both [...]

This situation is becoming more interesting by the minute. Chellie Pingree has been exposed by Stephan Burklin as a hypocrite, on several levels. First, for decrying the acceptance of rides on private jets prior to being in Congress, and then accepting rides on private jets once being in Congress. Second for having a rather aggressive [...]

The Democratic effort in Maine this year is pretty pathetic. And by pathetic, I mean just shamefully bad.
