How Did Your State Fare On State-Level Races? Maine Is Now A Red State...
Advertisements [?]
For us here in Maine, it's been a nightmare. Our previously Dem. State House AND State Senate are now Republican.

Though the Governor's race has still not been officially called, we know for a fact that it won't be a Dem. and probably won't be our only other hope, Independent Eliot Cutler. Our previous Governor was a Dem. (termed out)

With only about 13% of precincts left to report (almost all of them rural and conservative)this is what we've got:

Teabagger R... Paul LePage- 38%
Independent... Eliot Cutler- 37%
Democrat ... Libby Mitchell- 19%

So it appears that our next Governor will be an INSANE teabagger w/neither the State House of State Senate to stop him. He supports Creationism being taught in our schools, is anti choice, anti-gay rights... I could go on and on.

Here is Paul LePage telling President Obama to "Go to Hell"...

Here he is showing his volatile temper at a press conference he called for...

Here he is lying his ass off again and again...

The only solace I can take at this point is the fact that our 2 Dem US House Reps. Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud (a bluedog) held on.

We are now a Red state. I hope the rest of you have better news to report.
