Is that really ticking off the tea partiers in Maine?
Long before the general election it was well known that LePage was unlikely to go against Snowe, their connections were known. I like LePage, contributed to him before the Primary, but am not ticked off that he’s not going to try to defeat Snowe. If he stays out of it, I’d be pleased.
I contributed to Paul too, before and after the primary, and I think he’ll be a very good governor. Everyone knew about the Snowe family connection and he often spoke of it but always in terms of Peter Snowe’s contribution to his life. After the election he made a statement in terms of (as I read/remember it) active support for Olympia and the tired old “she’s the best we’ll get.” I no longer have the statement so if I’m wrong, please correct me. I have spoken to a few folks who very actively supported him and they are not too happy.
