LePage wins by splitting the vote. He did it with Eliot Cutler running as a "sort of" progressive in the last two governor elections.

Maine is ready to run you out of town on a rail as it is. And take that fat bastid Howie Carr with you.

He'll need a viable third party opponent to slime his way to the finish line. I think maybe a pattern of collusion exists in the state of Far North Eastern Alabama to keep these RW wackjobs in office.
