The bromance between LePage and Cutler at the debates was palpable; they'd team up against Michaud. Must be very frustrating for him.

LePage continues to improve his standing on his own.

I guess it's still possible for LePage to win this...

Ugh Cutler is really f--king Michaud over here. If LePage wins, I'm gonna be so pissed.

You just gotta think some of the Cutler voters will switch to Michaud at the last minute. 20% of people aren't going to waste their vote.

You don't know Maine then. 20% of people are certainly willing to waste their votes.

He wouldn't be unjustified in thinking that either; the first public poll where he received a higher percentage of the vote than the Democrat in 2010 was conducted 10/25-10/27!

If/When Democrats regain control of the government, they should pass a law creating a Georgia style runoff.

I'm starting to think Cutler might be a LePage plant.

Makes sense since it was the DEMOCRATS in Georgia that passed a runoff law in 1917.

And Republicans whom within the last couple years reinsituted the 50% threshold from the 45% one passed by Democrats. And this year's election is a clear reason why.

Actually, 53% of people are willing to waste their vote.

Looking at the 2010 results is fascinating.

Another independent Shaun Moody got five percent of the vote. If half of his supporters went for Cutler instead, Cutler would be Governor now.

I do think Democrats are to blame for supporting Mitchell who finished a distant third over Cutler.

My guess is that Michaud wins this time. Anyone who really dislikes LePage would need Cutler to be in the lead to be comfortable voting for him. Michaud is the Congressman of half the residents so half the state is comfortable voting for him.

Good analysis. Iirc Libby Mitchell's already weak standing in the polls slipped further as election day approached when it becamme clear she had no chance to win and Cutler was the de facto alternative to LePage. Now Cutler's in the spoiler role this year, and his support will slip some in the next 10 days, with Michaud being the beneficiary.

He probably shouldn't count on that happening again, considering he's now against a strong candidate like Michaud rather than the hapless Libby Mitchell.
