Thought of the day
Posted on October 9, 2010 by Michael
I find a lot of people who will say, “Yeah, I would love to go to Hawaii!” or “I would love to go skydiving!” or something of the like. But they never follow through. And I really don’t understand that. Just go out and live. It’s worth it.

New poll on race for Maine governor
Posted on September 29, 2010 by Michael
A new poll is out on the race for Maine governor.
The Maine Poll, conducted for MaineToday Media by Critical Insights, had 30 percent of likely voters supporting Mitchell, compared to LePage at 29 percent. This represents a significant change in a race where LePage has consistently led polls by 12 or more percentage points. In Critical Insights’ last poll, released Sept. 19, LePage had 38 percent voter support and Mitchell had 25 percent.
The 405 registered voters, all of whom said they were likely to vote in November, were surveyed on Monday. The poll has a margin of error of 4.9 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. That means that if the poll were repeated 100 times, in 95 cases the results would be within 4 percentage points of those reported.
Perhaps voters are starting to realize that – aside from his horrible ideas of teaching creationism and giving away college degrees to high school students – Maine probably doesn’t want the Rage of LePage at the helm.
This isn’t California or Florida. Maine prefers rational candidates.

Creationist Paul LePage doesn’t seem to much understand how this whole darn politics thing works.
