I think it's from when he was campaigning for gay rights - the picture has been around for a while, and the fellow hasn't denied it's him.

Maine’s Republican governor, Paul LePage, has opened up a 10-point lead over his Democratic challenger, Representative Michael H. Michaud, according to new poll released Sunday for The Maine Sunday Telegram/Portland Press Herald.
Mr. LePage’s 45-to-35-percent lead is outside the poll’s margin of sampling error and has struck fear in the hearts of Democrats. Previous polls had shown the race a dead heat between Mr. LePage and Mr. Michaud.
A third candidate, Eliot Cutler, an independent, continues to trail, with the new poll giving him 16 percentage points.
The poll has led Maine Democrats to turn up the heat on Mr. Cutler’s supporters, urging them to abandon Mr. Cutler and vote for Mr. Michaud; otherwise, they say, Mr. LePage is likely to win re-election.
The Michaud camp has put out a new television ad featuring erstwhile Cutler supporters who have switched to Mr. Michaud. The campaign has urgently asked Democrats to share the ad through Facebook.
On Monday, NextGen Climate Maine, a group financed by Tom Steyer, the California billionaire and environmentalist, is scheduled to hold a news conference in Portland to call for voters to unite behind Mr. Michaud. Former Cutler supporters are expected to be on hand.

Bump, Tsunami coming.
This would be big.
The Pingree Press ( the Press in Maine is owned by billionaire financier and husband of first district representative Chellie Pingree who has her eyes on bigger and greater things, shudder) is trying to mobilize the Dem base by scaring them.
There is no way a positive article about LePage would ever appear in the Pingree Press cohort otherwise.

here’s a switch. the third party guy is draining votes from the liberal.
“On Monday, NextGen Climate Maine, a group financed by Tom Steyer, the California billionaire and environmentalist, is scheduled to hold a news conference in Portland to call for voters to unite behind Mr. Michaud. Former Cutler supporters are expected to be on hand.”
The Maine-iacs ought to really go for that.....
Mike Michaud is a state joke. I remember that he is connected with one of the dirtiest politicians of Maine, the Democrat John Martin.

Always nice to have that Leftist out of state money meddling in state politics.
As Maine goes so goes the nation.
LePage is Awesome!
Is LePage Presidential timber?
Tea Party guy. He’s a little rough around the edges, though.
Best election news I’ve heard yet. He’s a no-apologies conservative. He had a tough childhood, leaving an abusive home in his early teens, so he’s no shrinking violet.
Wow, TEA?
This, and the early-voting in FL thread are nearly putting me in a cheerful mood!
Funny, NYT doesn’t mention anything about TEA.
You have to read the article I linked to on “America’s Craziest Governor”.
He tells it like it is. That’s what we need.
Ebola nurse is making him act. And he is doing the right thing
