In Maine, Both Cong. Districts Going Repub!!

Portland Press Herald ^ | 10-30-2010

Unbelievably, Maine's 2nd Dist, once safely in Dem's column, is now tied, and in the 1st, Scontras now has a 4 point lead over jet-setter Pelosi-clone Chellie Pingree!

2nd District Here

1st District Here

Meanwhile, Rep. Mayor Paul LePage has a commanding lead in the Governor's Race.

Gov race Here

Thanks for posting. This Tea Party revolution in Maine is going unnoticed by the national media. The Tea Party Candidate for governor up there (LaPage) has opened a 20-point lead.

Now I have an option of a place to go should things not turn out too well here in Massachusetts (fortunately, I think we'll do OK here as well).

Maine isn't immune....

In Maine, it could come down to fraud. Let’s not forget that, in the 2000 election, Maine was one of the states that had more votes than it had registered voters. We need sharp eyes watching the fraud machine or this area will stay Dem.

Olympia Snowe, up for reelection in 2012.

Accomplishments:

Member of the Gang of 14

Joined fellow Republican senators Lincoln Chafee and John McCain in voting against the Bush tax cuts in 2003

Does not belive in the 2nd Amendment

Senator Snowe - WE ARE COMMING FOR YOU.

Signed the TEA Party

SNOWE REMOVAL 2012!

[Doulos1]

Call for Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins..line 1.
It is a Mr. T. Party, would like to speak with you two.

[COBOL2Java]

Uh oh. This does not bode well for Laverne and Shirley...

Snowe was one of three Reps who voted for the stimulus with the other two being Collins and Spector.

Ms. Snowe had to be worried that someone might remember that she's spent 13.99 of her 14 years in the Senate publicly agonizing, usually in view of a camera, about the "deficit." Or that as recently as, oh, January, she was fervently devoted to "paygo" -- which she waived in deference to $839 billion in deficit spending. She might have even worried her enthusiasm for this bill might finally, after all these years, highlight that her fiscal responsibility only surfaces when it is time to oppose a tax cut, and that she's never met spending she didn't love.

I get Collins’ weekly bubbly newsletter. All chippy about what group she spoke to, who she was seen with and what meager bits of pork she got for “her people” in Maine. Never a word about the huge mess that the country is in. On top of that she’s never struck me as very bright. If (when) Snowe goes in 2012 Collins will have lost her apron to hang on to.

Great, now if you Mainers can replace the Maine sisters with two real Republican senators, you’ll be a useful part of the Congress

Bubble Bubble, Toil and Trouble

Yep, that's not political leadership, that's pandering. Leaders do the right thing without consideration of the cost to themselves. Craven pander-bears boast about all the cool stuff they can "give" you.

To paraphrase Rush, Collins is a jackass.

Is there an organized poll watch happening?

[hosepipe]

The T-P Caucus is growing strongly in Maine..
The two ditz Senators WILL be challenged in the primarys..
As well as the Govenor and the State House..

{Jaws Theme}

[Don Corleone]

Uh oh. This does not bode well for Laverne and Shirley..

Maybe they will do a "Thelma and Louise".

[BillyBoy]

Dean Scontras and Jason Levesque are pulling ahead in both of Maine's House districts, and tea party conservative Paul LePage has a huge lead in the Governor's race.

What happened to the pro-RINO freepers who kepting telling us Olympia Snowe-type RINOs were "the best we're ever gonna get" out of that state?

[SaraJohnson]

I bet the Senate biddies are clucking.
