On the GOP side, Bruce Poliquin, a former state treasurer and pension fund manager, says hes the only candidate in the race who is not a career politician.
He points to his life story including the tragic loss of his wife at a young age and his deep belief in his Roman Catholic faith as the reason he can claim to be the only pro-life candidate in the race. Poliquin made an unsuccessful run for governor in 2010 and for the U.S. Senate in 2012.
Poliquins primary opponent is former state Senate President Kevin Raye, a Republican from the Washington County town of Perry who is the former chief of staff for retired U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe. Raye has supported abortion rights and says he doesnt believe the government has a role to play in the relationship between a woman and her doctor.
LOL, you already replied to that guy back in post #34.
LOL! I know. I felt silly when I saw that it was a four month old thread. Still... you have to admit the recent update is certainly vindication, no?
great news in ME-2
Why would they even poll ME-1 when the action is in ME-2? Unless they were also asking about the GOV race.
Governor Paul LePage is a TEA Party conservative, as you already know.
Bruce Poliquin, now leading his dem challenger in Maine’s 2nd congressional district, is a conservative. If Mr. Poliquin wins, this open seat flips from dem to GOP.
Maine’s state Senate and the Maine House have a number of conservatives in those two legislative bodies.
I know plenty of people here in Maine who are conservative.
Maine is also a very-pro 2nd Amendment state.
Yes, we have our share of moonbats and other assorted libs, but the situation is far from RINO or communist, as the other poster said. You of course understand this, I’m posting for the benefit of the other people on this thread.
Good news.
I don’t know if they polled the Gov. race, but they did poll the Senate race, so might as well poll the ME-02 House race as well.
I got into a new project last night for CT.
The voting record of individual voters is public information and is part of the voter registration list that can be purchased from the state. Somebody has put it on line. Connecticut.
I always assumed that about 15% of “Church-goers” are “prime voters.” And until the churches decide to get their vote out, their message is futile ... falling on deaf ears. They have no constituency.
I compared the names on church bulletins and web sites to their voting history. People who are paid church folks on payroll ... not reliable voters. Clergy with Masters in Theology, etc. No vote.
It is very hard to find anyone who is a prime voter in CT that has their name associated with a conservative church.
The Congregationalists on the other hand ... vote heavily.
The other conclusion ..... I looked up some of the far left radical DEM clergy .... they are not heavy voters, so they are a lame excuse for Marxist churchmen. Even the Marxist nun voted infrequently ... only one primary.
Nobody votes. Not the Judicial Vicar for the Diocese. Not the Pentecostal preacher. Not the Pro-Life Ministry team.

Somehow we have to get it across to folks that VOTER TURNOUT IS WHAT WINS ELECTIONS!
I talk to folks individually, and tell them who the good guys are, and mention the importance of voter turnout in letters to editors. Calling local, or national, talk shows might be a good way as well.
Any other ideas?
Link?
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 Then he sent some more servants and said, Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.
5 But they paid no attention and went offone to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
Interesting.
Did you check any Black churches? I bet they vote.
blacks are not prime voters.
everybody knows that.
Hmm.
Angus Queen (or Angus the King’s Pawn?) endorses Emily Cain.
This apparently stuck Politics.com’s Ron Gunzburger’s fancy, he noted how “Independent” it was of Queen to haved endorsed Susan Collins, a RINO certain to win irregardless of Queen’s opinion of the race, and now Emily Cain, a moonbat rat in a competitive race against a conservative Republican, and also Elliot Cutler, a leftist indie for Governor. That last one may have been helpful, since we need Cutler to take some of the gay vote away from Michaud. it was of Queen to haved endorsed Susan Collins, a RINO certain to win irregardless of Queen
