Baldacci vs. Perry: Who has a weaker mandate?

[MarkWarner08]

Both have poor approval numbers and both were reelected with less than 40% of the vote. Here's the election results from both races:

Texas:
   
Republican Perry: 1,714,618         39%
    
Democrat Bell: 1,309,774              30%
    
Independent Strayhorn: 789,432    18%
    
Independent Friedman: 553,327    12%
    
Libertarian Werner: 26,726         1%


Maine:

   
Democratic Baldacci: 206,991    38%
    
Republican Woodcock: 164,861  30%
    
Independent Merrill: 117,111        21%
    
Green LaMarche: 52,150               10%
    
Libertarian NaPier: 3,460         1%


Baldacci and Perry each face a legislature that is entirely controlled by the governor's party. Each faces the pressure of creating a legacy before he becomes a lame duck. Which one do you think will have a better last term?

editor's note: I would have voted for Bell and LaMarche.

Just to clarify; Texas does not have gubernatorial term limits.  Perry could run again in 2010 if he wanted to.

While Texas may not have a strict term limits policy like the one for the POTUS, it does have an "understood" limit of two terms per Governor. I think John Connelly was the lost Governor of Texas to serve more than two terms.
