As much as the right beat on him and his puters for kids it has been an overwhelming success. I believe Angus will take a lot of the independent vote and his share from both parties! Guessing if the vote was held today he would pull 40% of the vote while the right would pull 28% and the left would 32%. There are many p.o. republicans in this state that are not happy with "LePage" or some of his administration. The way this Poliquin debacle has lingered and the non-finding by the state atty: general's office or the limitations of questions to be allowed of the court smells of controlling the results!~
this will cost the right many votes!
I think he will be a very strong candidate-one that both party members will vote for!
He is a great speaker and would definetly represent the people of Maine well. And he certainly can hold his own with the old guard in either party!!
