Apparently some have forgotten how things went in the 2010 gubernatorial election. Independent Eliot Cutler was further behind Democrat Libby Mitchell in early October 2010 than he is behind Democrat Mike Michaud in 2014. From that deficit, Cutler surged to lose the 2010 election by less than 1.8 percent, trouncing Mitchell by 17.4 percent.
With Michaud a far less qualified candidate than Mitchell, can’t we expect an even greater trouncing of Michaud in 2014? Of course! This only makes sense, as Cutler is a man among boys in this field of candidates.
I cannot canvass the candidates’ resumes in 150 words, but I encourage all to review them carefully. It will help you understand why Cutler will dominate the debates; why I have it on good authority that Cutler will under no circumstances exit the race, and why Michaud should – lest he be the spoiler that Libby was in 2010.
