If you are a Mainer and care about helping a true conservative in his quest to get the GOP gubernatorial nomination, please take Republican Primary Poll #2 and vote for Paul LePage. Paul is a self made man, successful in business and 3 term mayor of Waterville. He has a half dozen opponents but his main opponent, and the one supported by the state GOP establishment is Steve Abbott, 12 year chief of staff for our RINO senator, Sue Collins. Abbott has the machine behind him. He's a hack with no real world experience beyond being a flack in DC for Suzie.
In spite of this, Paul is holding on to a slight lead in this poll (I believe that the poll closes tomorrow).
If the link in the header doesn't work, go to the home page http://www.pinetreepolitics.com and look for "Republican Primary Poll #2" in the scrolling menu.
Done.
As of today - who do you support for the Republican nomination for governor in 2010? [Listing is Alphabetical]
Paul LePage, Mayor of Waterville and General Manager of Marden’s (29%, 546 Votes)
Steve Abbott, Former Chief of Staff to Senator Susan Collins (26%, 496 Votes)
Bruce Poliquin, business owner/manager and economist (16%, 302 Votes)
Matt Jacobson, President and CEO of Maine & Company (15%, 292 Votes)
Les Otten, founder of American Skiing Company and former Boston Red Sox co-owner (6%, 120 Votes)
Bill Beardsley, Former President of Husson College (4%, 80 Votes)
Peter Mills, State Senator (4%, 66 Votes)
Total Voters: 1,902
Have LePage do a study on how Marco Rubio has become the Party Giant Slayer here in Florida. As a matter of fact, just have him contact Marco’s office directly to hopefully speak with him.
Basically, Marco has gone to all the REC meetings and also held several small town halls all over the state. His front and center approach has worked wonderfully to connect directly to the base and from the base his polls have risen from 40 down to Crist lat may to tied last month.
40 down to Crist last May to tied last month.
Great point - Rubio and LePage are in very similar situations. Thanks much and I’ve passed the thought along.
No thanks necessary, we are all in the same boat.
tELL PAUL i’VE GOT A CHAIN SAW HE CAN USE !!!
The boat seems to be getting some buoyancy.
