I wouldn’t count Bruce Poliquin out in the November election.
He was very aggressive during the primary, spending tons of his own money on endless radio and TV ads. Usually, in Maine’s second congressional district, the GOP guy has little cash to spend.
Poliquin made a lot of money on Wall Street years ago, and while some voters with a class warfare mentality will hate him for this, it is an ironclad fact that he has plenty of money of his own to spend on his general election campaign, and the primary season has shown that he’s not shy about spending his own cash.
Our governor, Paul LePage, is great. He doesn’t take any crap from the dems and he couldn’t care less whether the liberals like it or not.
When LePage took office in January, 2011, within days he ended Maine’s status as a sanctuary state for illegals. He also has attended a number of pro Second Amendment rallies.
Conservative Republican Bruce Poliquin leading the liberal Democrat by 10% (!) in the latest poll for ME-02:
