He's nothing more than the Republicans' equivalent of Alan Grayson, and just like Grayson, he'll get crushed in a Senate race.
Just like Atlas was collectively convinced that LePage would lose last year. The real problem this time is that he is facing Angus King.
He only won because of the goofy three way race last year.
That is definitively not true. He only needed about a quarter of Cutler's voters to get a majority of the vote. Considering the fact that I don't think all of Cutler's voters would've even showed up, much less voted for Michaud, it's pretty easy to say that LePage won because Michaud ran an ineffectual campaign and because LePage ran strong with blue collar voters.
Michaud lost his home district by something close to 16 points. That should tell you something about the kind of campaign he ran.
