Le Page is small time. I just go for first hand knowledge not "google" results. Why should I follow what other people on FR have an opinion on or a "vague opinion" on whether Otten or Le Page. I have my own opinion on Otten from my own experiences.

Le Page gets in, which I seriously doubt, nothing will change. The Repubs in are small time. I have to laugh at the rhythmic commercial re: "land" by the President of Husson U (lol)- Baldacci was small time too. Maine has stayed small time aka behind in the grand scheme of things--just a nice place to take a vacation, eat lobster and watch life pass on by.

Le Page would be taken by Libby-again more name recognition.

He should just stay where he is a general manager in a company in a ongoing depressed area of Maine. But it is commendable that he wants to seek public service. Perhaps he will bring the mills back or turn them into condos/apts. (failed) as in Empire Falls?

Enough said. I only showed the denial on the Otten page, but then everyone is lying as far as you are concerned, so cannot have an intelligent dialog with you.

The Kennebec Journal reporter gives me enjoyment-small time too.

I did not cut and paste but for a link, I do not have to on this subject for background, as you.

I will not be responding to you after this post. Time will tell. Have fun.

Maine Energy Systems, another start up company by Otten.

LePage is the current mayor of Waterville. He battles Democrats and wins, continually cutting taxes. I have no idea why you would say “wants to seek public service” about LePage. He is already Mayor, he is already a public servant, outside of the mess in Augusta.

LePage has won more straw polls around the state than all the other candidates combined. He has the support of the conservative grass roots, tea partiers. LePage is a solid conservative, a true conservative, with a proven track record of solid, responsible, conservative management.

LePage doesn’t have the war chest. Otten was able to pull down $400k a year when American Skiing’s stock was plummeting. Now he can spend that money on TV ads.

I think we could expect grand schemes from an Otten administration. Nothing “small time” from Otten. Maine would likely borrow money on something risky and fail. As Otten floats away to something else, the Maine taxpayers would be left holding the bill.

The Democrats would be worse of course, I think we agree on that.
