This is the last day of this poll. As of now conservative GOP candidate Paul LePage is neck and neck with RINO Sue Collins' Chief of Staff Steve Abbott. Abbott is the machine's choice. LePage is a "real guy." If the link doesn't work, go to the home page http://www.pinetreepolitics.com and look for Republican Primary Poll #2 in the menu (right side of page).

When I did the poll I got a dead address and went to the home page at http://www.pinetreepolitics.com and clicked on the poll in the menu.
This is a poll intended for Maine voters but I’ll bet Abbott has his friends in DC voting for him.
I’ve had the chance to talk with Paul a few times ( including a couple counter-rallies against more taxes), and he appears to be the real deal.
He’s the Mayor of Waterville, the General magr of ‘Mardens’, and has brought a couple other businesses back from the brink as a consultant.
Check him out at our tea party last year;

Also, paul will not take ‘clean campaign’ money. So if you can , join his ‘10 dollar’ club.
Thanks for the link.
We’ve been to about 3 events with Paul and we really like him. Hopefully the GOP hierarchy here will be in for as much of a surprise as we’ve seen elsewhere in the country. I truly think Paul could garner national attention as one who “gets it.”
I like LePage as well. A Republican won the US Senate race in MA just yesterday. Certainly, a good conservative can win the Governors race in Maine. LePage is certainly electable.
* Job Creation: Too often politicians and bureaucrats in state government make the promise that they “will create new jobs”. At best this sort of statement shows a complete misunderstanding of the Maine economy. At worst it shows an eagerness to increase the size of government. The jobs that our state needs are not the kind that can be created by our governor, state legislature or any other government entity. The jobs that Maine needs are the kind created by intelligent, visionary entrepreneurs who will choose Maine as the place to start or grow their business. They will create new, higher paying jobs in industries where growth is possible. These jobs will stimulate our economy, bringing revenue into state coffers while reducing the burden on individual taxpayers. As Governor, I promise to work tirelessly not to “create new jobs” but to create an environment and public policy that promotes the growth of business, envision a landscape bounding with economic activity.
* Limited Government: Never before in the history of our state or our nation have the individual rights of citizens been so openly under attack. Each and every Maine citizen has the right to live their life without the shackles of government. From over-taxation that is forcing some into economic slavery to excessive government regulation by bureaucrats who do not understand the industries they attempt to regulate, it is time to halt the growth of government. It is time to push back against this steadily growing interference into our personal lives, our finances, and our businesses.
