LePage seems to me a candidate without the albatross-like downsides of Mastriano or Dixon but also without the upset potential of Ronchetti or Drazan. I'm expecting a fairly boring race along the lines of MN-GOV, with Mills moderately favored all the way.
Idk if it's just me but LePage seems to have 0 charisma to some of these other R candidates but he's also not particularly moderate. I think that makes it tricky for him to define himself
Still noteworthy though that he already won two races for governor. Wasn't he considered an underdog for reelection in 2014 and still won fair and sqaure? I still think this Lean Democratic, but has some potential for an upset.
Thanks to Eliot Cutler (who ran as an independent both in 2010 and 2014), LePage was able to pull through both times. Mills won't have to worry about Cutler this year--he's facing jail time for child pornography charges.
