Maine

This is not a poll, but rather a discussion of the race in general. What are the candidates flaws and strengths and such? I personally think LePage is being badly underestimated. Everyone treats him like a goner yet is running within the MoE. Cutler also lagged badly until fall, and a sudden surge then after debates that he has been pushing for split the liberal vote as a result. On a side note, if LePage loses but Collins inevitably chews up her opponent and spits her out (which makes me think a moderate Pub could win ME-2 presidentially), it shows that Maine voters value moderates, not party, as much as I think they do.

LePage can win if and only if Michaud and Cutler split the vote.

Collins can keep winning because she's a Republican version of Nunn, a vestige of a once plentiful Northeast Republicans just as Nunn is a vestige of a once plentiful Southern Democrats.

And a split is exactly what I am thinking will happen since Cutler is likely to surge after debates in an already a close race, taking away Mike's already small lead.

I'm predicting a small Michaud win but if Lepage can ride Collin's coattails and Cutler can pick up a larger percentage of the vote due to Michaud being little more than a Generic D Lepage could win an upset

LaPage can't win without carrying CD2; it really helps Michaud that he represents that district.

As long as Cutler stays under 15%, I think Michaud wins.

Almost no one watches state level debates.

Senator Angus King endorses Cutler.

Won't do much to help Cutler, he's already in pretty bad shape and the endorsement was expected.

FTFY.
