>> let’s draft Gov. Paul LePage of Maine
Is he electable? That’s the first time I’ve heard the name that I can recall.
Mind you, electability isn’t *everything*. But it’s important. Very important. If ideology and track record and executive ability were all that mattered, I’d write in my wife’s cousin-in-law Don, or a local business leader, Jim. Either one would make a fantastic president. They are highly conservative, articulate, and have a track record of accomplishment. But we’d be looking at another four unacceptable years of Obama.
LePage has a remarkable story of rising up from abject poverty to the Governorship. He just charges ahead and does what is right and doesn’t give a damn what the opposition thinks (that includes the liberal phonies of BOTH parties).
If you have a chance, look him up. Of our freshman class of 2010 Governors, he’s about the best (and we’ve got some good ones, Scott Walker of Wisconsin being another). LePage makes Perry look like Dennis Kucinich.
